SALZER’S NEW SUNSHINE ASTERS 
A new type of aster of singular beauty and great merit. You will be 
impressed and delighted with the large flowers which are 4 to 6 inches in 
diameter and which are half double, exhibiting the grace and beauty of 
the single aster, but greatly enhanced by a cushion center of tiny quills 
of a contrasting color. The golden yellow ground-tone of the quilled 
center petals, harmonizes beautifully with the pink blue, lilac and white 
of the outer petals, which form a charming loosely curled circle. The 
plant is of branching habit, bearing its lovely flowers on long and strong 
stems, making it invaluable as a cut flower. 
The delicate beauty of this Aster will appeal to every garden lover who 
wants exquisite flowers for garden decoration or for cutting. We offer 
the following good range of colors: 
1767— White 1769—Pink 1771—HILved
