Aster Sinensis “Scarlet King’ 
Excellent for Cutting 
After years of collaboration 
with the University of Cali¬ 
fornia in an attempt to pro¬ 
duce a strain of Rust Proof 
Antirrhinums, we are glad to 
announce that our object has 
been achieved. 
We are able to offer to the 
Trade three separate varieties originated by Waller-Franklin and a wonderful 
Mixture originated by the University of California. These Antirrhinums have 
been subject to the most rigid tests in our experimental grounds, which is 
one of the worst locations for rust that we know. Conditions have been created 
in every possible way to try and produce rust on these Antirrhinums, such as 
placing rust infested plants among them and keeping them excessively wet. 
They have stood the tests and 75% of the plants are absolutely rust proof. It 
is a joy to see these plants with their clean, healthy foliage free from rust. 
We predict that the introduction of Rust Proof Antirrhinums will make Antir¬ 
rhinums one of the most popular flowers in America.

ASTER, WILT RESISTANT 
“GOLDEN SHEAF” 
We take pleasure in introducing Golden Sheaf, the 
deepest yellow aster yet offered, and the only one 
that is wilt resistant. The flowers are fully double, 
with an attractive crest-like center, of good substance 
and fine depth of petal. It has all the characteristics 
of the Aurora type of aster so popular now with 
florists. The flowers last well when cut, and are excel¬ 
lent shippers.

ASTER “SCARLET KING” 
Excerpt from The Florists’ Exchange, 
Sept. 1st Issue, 1934. 
‘‘Wholesalers are considered so hard- 
boiled as to be unable to recognize a 
new flower from an old one. Such is 
not the case however. This morning 
we wore a couple of flowers of a 
small single aster, and in spite of 
asters being everywhere and ranging 
up to 4 in. or more in size, quite a 
number of salesmen spotted our bout¬ 
onniere and expressed a desire to 
have it. The variety Scarlet King came 
to us via England and it is remark¬ 
able for its neat form and intense 
scarlet color. It is of true sinensis 
type with shortish stiff petals and 
small disc of yellow. Unlike the large, 
soft petaled Elegance and Sunshine 
singles with their large discs. Scarlet 
King is a real market type hard 
enough to stand packing without los¬ 
ing its daintiness. The color is much 
brighter than the older General Joffre 
and is not to be found in any of the 
doubles. Its constitution is good and 
it makes fairly long wiry stems."
