GIANT SUNSHINE ASTER 
A wonderful improvement over the old California Sunshine, 
The clear and beautiful colors are varying shades of pink, 
Apple Blossom, Rose, Blue and Lavender. A dual tone effect 
is obtained through contrasting light yellow and blue centers. 
The outer or guard petals are somewhat loosely placed, creat¬
