NEW BRANCHING ASTER 
Super Giant Los Angeles 
This Aster has the general habit of the Giants of Cali¬ 
fornia, but earlier and much larger, as its name would indi¬ 
cate. In fact, it is the largest type yet introduced. The 
flowers, which are borne on strong stems, and unusually long, 
are not only large, but most artistic, due to the unusual 
curling and interlacing of the petals, which gives it a feath¬ 
ery effect. The color is a pure shell pink, one that has been 
lacking in the Giants of California. Height 2% feet. 
Pkt. 20 cts. 
LINARIA—FAIR Y ROQUET 
Colors Like Moraccana Hybrids 
This pretty and attractive flower was awarded the Gold

strain of more compact growth and larger flowers which 
come in a great variety of distinct colors, such as rose,

It is a useful bedding plant, or can be planted in pots or 
boxes. It comes into bloom very soon after planting, and the 
flowers, which appear like miniature snapdragons, are splen¬ 
did for mixing in boquets. Hardy Annual. Height 8 inches.
