New Varieties for 1934 
Aster New Super Giant Los Angeles 
Asters raised from your seed were mistaken for Dahlias. 
Mrs. Laura Burgess, Plain, Wash. 
Through cooperation with the originators, we now offer our customers the first of a new race 
of Asters, which promises to supersede all other strains for cut flower use. 
It is of the general habit of the Giants of California, but earlier and much larger than any 
of the Giants of California type yet introduced, hence the name, Super Giant Los Angeles. But, 
while the flowers are large, they are most artistic, due to the unusual curling and interlacing 
of the petals, giving a light feathery effect. The chief difference in flower form between this 
strain and the Giants of California is in a deeper, fuller centered flower in the new strain. 
The color is a pure shell pink, one that has been entirely lacking in the Giants of California. 
We suggest that Los Angeles be used to round out the color range in the Giants until a full color 
range has been developed in this Super Giant race. The stems are stronger than in the Giants 
of California, and unusually long, while no disbudding is necessary due to the non-lateral habit.
