(Florists' Review, issue August 1, 1935. Reporting market conditions 
from Nashville, Tennessee.) 
Asters are coming in steadily now and are of excellent quality 
for this early in the season. The resistant strains of asters are 
proving a real boon to florists in the south. Prior to the intro¬ 
duction of the resistant types, it was practically impossible to 
grow asters here, except under glass, and even 
these 
were 
not 
overly successful.

Bodger's Famous "Regular" Strains 
SPECIAL NOTE: 
In soil that is clean and rot is not to be considered our "Regular" 
Strains of California Asters, listed below, will be found generally satis¬ 
factory. However, if in doubt, plant "Bodger's Wilt-Resistant" Strains. 
The small difference in cost of seed is of little moment compared to crop 
results. 
Super Giant Los Angeles (Howard-Bodger) 
Award of Merit 1934 All-America Selections 
Los Angeles, Bodger's introduction of two seasons ago, is still one 
of the most popular and best selling Asters on the market. The first 
introduction in the modern Super Giant class, the flowers are fully 
double, 6 to 8 inches across, graceful and delicately interlaced. The 
long, stiff stems are basal branching and strictly non-lateral, bearing 
the large flowers smartly upright. Don't overlook this fine Aster.

Bodger's Famous "Regular" Strains 
Super Giant El Monte (Bodger) 
Two seasons ago we introduced the sensational new Super Giant 
Aster Los Angeles, a delicate shell pink color. Extremely popular in 
the cooler climes, a more rugged color was desired in the warmer 
lands. This wish is met completely in our new companion Super 
Giant, El Monte, the only really large flowered crimson Aster. Deep 
glowing crimson, composed of abundant quantities of daintily inter¬ 
laced plume-like petals, the flowers are extremely large and fluffy, 
borne on heavy non-lateral, basal branched stems. It is very early 
blooming, coming in before the California Giant varieties, and re¬ 
maining in flower over a long period. Although not wilt-resistant, 
we highly recommend El Monte to you. Plant El Monte for your 
earliest Giant Aster.
