Asters — Continued 
American Branching. (Wilt-Resistant). Plants 
large, vigorous, branching with strong stems. 
Flowers of large size, very full to the center. Our 
strain of this superb aster has been grown with 
such care we unhesitatingly believe it is unsur¬ 
passed. 
Wilt-Resistant Asters. For several years our 
grower has been working on this problem. In time, 
it is expected to have practically all varieties with 
resistance to Fusarium wilt. We offer for this 
year the following American Branching which 
are Wilt-Resistant, and others where noted.

Beauty Asters. (Early Type). This type, re¬ 
cently introduced, has all the characteristics of the 
Late Beauty type; strong branching plants; long 
stems; large, w T ell-formed flowers, and is valuable 
for location where the season is too short to flower 
the Late Beauty (latest of all Asters). It is not an 
early Aster as compared to Queen of the Market, 
but earlier than Late Beauty. Blooms at the same 
time as American Branching and flower is of that 
type, but larger.

poses. Azure Blue, Deep Rose, Shell Pink, White 
and Finest Mixed Colors. Each per %-oz., 50c.;

Giants of California. We highly recommend this 
grand Aster to both Florists and private garden¬ 
ers. Great improvement has been made in this 
pleasing type since its introduction. Giants of 
California are by far the largest and most beau¬ 
tiful of the Crego or Chrysanthemum class. The 
flowers measure up to six inches across, packed 
with broad petals, and may be grown with stems 
30 inches long. The Horticultural Trade Journal 
of London, England, in commenting on Giants 
of California states, “It is truly an aristocrat 
amongst Asters.”

centered, %-oz., $1.50; pkt., 25c. 
Single Asters. Single Asters have a beautiful 
charm and simplicity of their own. The colors

single type of Aster is destined to become very 
popular.
