Single Giants of California 
The flowers are large, measuring 3 to 4 inches across, with stems 
13 ^ to 2 feet in length, and the petals have a slight twist, which adds 
a piquant touch to their beauty. The white blossoms resemble Shasta 
daisies in appearance, but their greater length of stem makes them 
more graceful and better adapted to florists’ use. In the garden, they 
add a charming note of simplicity among the fuller types of Asters.

Hardy Asters

but of even more value for early cut-flowers, as they come into bloom 
in the open ground with us by the middle of July. They are the 
largest early Asters of which we know, of double Comet type, splen¬ 
did substance and long stems; plants healthy, sturdy, of branching 
habit, 1J^ feet high; free bloomers.

King 
A magnificent class of Asters, distinct from all others in the char¬ 
acter of the flower. The long, narrow petals are folded lengthwise, 
appearing almost as though quilled. The flowers are of great size 
and substance and last longer when cut than those of any other class. 
The plants are large and the stems exceptionally long and strong.
