Asters 
Improved New Giant California Sunshine. 
This wonderful Aster is a decided improvement 
over the old California Sunshine. The clear and 
beautiful colors are varying shades of pink, 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, creating an airy, lace-like effect which is 
altogether charming. The flowers measure 4 to 5 
inches across and are borne on heavy stems fully 
18 to 20 inches long. Mixed Colors. Pkt., 15c; 
Ys oz., 50c. 
Calendula, Orange Radio. 
Giant Exhibition Begonias 
This is the finest seed obtainable and was care¬ 
fully selected and gathered by the Begonia specialist 
in charge of our bulb-growing fields. Plants bloom 
the first season from seed, if sown in February or 
March in a temperature of 60 degrees. To secure 
the best results for outdoor planting, they should be 
set out as soon as the ground becomes warm. They 
are covered the whole summer with bright and ele¬ 
gant flowers. Double Mixed. Pkt., 35c.
