American Asters 
Asters are one of the most satisfactory flowers to grow, providing they 
are given a suitable location. 
The main points to observe in growing good Asters are: Good varieties, 
good seed, good deep, rich soil, and a location which will permit con¬ 
tinual cultivation. We advise not to grow Asters in the same soil two 
years in succession. 
We do not think it possible for you to select any better Asters for your 
garden than the varieties we offer. 
Los Angeles Aster 
All American Award of Merit. 
1155 We offer an Aster that is so far advanced to anything we have seen 
heretofore, that we are certain it will make a name for itself wherever 
it is grown. The flowers are huge, larger by far than even Giants of 
California, and rather earlier. In formation of such depth that when 
cut they are almost indistinguishable from Chrysanthemums. In color 
Los Angeles is pure deep shell-pink of a most attractive shade. Annual, 
2% feet. Pkt., 25c.
