ASTER EOS ANGELES 
CALIFORNIA GIANTS ASTERS 
Very beautiful vying in size of flower and length of stem 
with well grown chrysanthemums. The flowers measure 6 
inches across and are filled with broad, long, incurved petals 
resembling in formation the well known Crego type of asters. 
Born on 2 feet long, stiff and strong non-lateral branching 
stems, requiring no disbudding. Unexcelled for cutting and 
whether assembled in a bouquet or as a single bloom fully 
as impressive as chrysanthemums or double peonies.

ASTER HOWARD’S GIANTS 
A true non-lateral branching strain, each flower being 
borne at the terminal of a long stout stem 18 to 24 inches in 
length, with no lateral growths manifesting themselves in 
their entire length. The tedious method of disbudding in 
order to obtain size is entirely done away with. In formation 
of bloom they resemble the well known American Beauty and 
are really an improved and highest class of the Beauty type.

SWANSDOWX, pure white, MAIDEN’S BLUSH, delicate flesh 
pink. PEACH BLOSSOM, lavender pink. AZURE FAIRY,

NEW ASTER LOS ANGELES 
Of the Giants of California type, same habit only the flowers are 
much larger, more double and ready to cut earlier. Well grown, the 
flowers attain the immense size of 8 inches across. So far there is 
one color only, namely pure shell-pink. The introducers, Bodger 
Seed, Ltd., call this new aster SUPER GIANT. In time they will 
doubtless supply us Super Giants in many colors. If they also could 
furnish the public with plenty of funds (they would if they could, 
they are fine, generously minded people) so that we as a nation could 
maintain our reputation as a nation of liberal spenders, what a plea¬ 
sure it would be to grow lots of this Aster as well as other flowers? 
What an immensely increased demand would that bring about. T.
