Salzer’s California Giant Asters ha 
This marvelous type is the finest Aster in cultivation today, and commands 
the highest price at the cut-flower markets of all of our large cities. No less, 
does it make the best display of any Aster in the garden. 
It is a cross between the Beauty Type of Aster and the Crefto 
Aster, combining the vigorous tall growth of the former with the 
lovely, double, large flower of the latter. Salzer’s California Giant is 
practically non-lateral, but instead, carries its blooms at the end of its 
long stems, without the small side branches, producing enormous flow-ers 
of wonderful substance on strong, stiff stems 20 to 24 inches long. The 
flowers measure 5 to 6 Inches in diameter, with long petals that 
Huffily curl across each other and produce an exquisite bloom 
that has no equal. 
Wherever exhibited, this superb Aster has won prizes and received awards 
of merit. 
Mrs. I.^ster L. Rand. R. D. 3, Auburn. Maine, writes. "Friends thought that 
the California Giant Asters that I raised had been bought from a florist. The 
first blossoms measured six inches in diameter.” Mrs. Minnie Tatro. R. p. 1, 
Geneva. Nebraska, writes, “We had lovely Asters from your California Giant 
Aster Seed.”
