New Super Giant Aster—“Los Angeles” 
Field. View of 
Super Giant 
Aster — “Los 
Angeles.” 
This is the largest and most 
fully double Aster known. The 
flowers are from six to seven 
inches across. The plants reach 
a height of 2^ to 3 feet, with six 
to eight long, non-lateral stems 
per plant. 
The color is a lovely pure 
shell pink, the first of a new 
race of Asters, resembling 
the famous Giants of Cali¬ 
fornia type, but earlier, 
larger and with longer and 
better stems, which need no 
disbudding. 
The large 
flowers are 
most artistic, 
due to the curl¬ 
ing and inter¬ 
lacing of the 
petals, giving a 
light feathery 
effect. Flowers 
deeper and ful- 
ler centered 
than the others 
of this type.

Culture 
The aster 
does best when 
brought to flow¬ 
er late in the 
season. It comes 
in after many 
other flowers 
have come and 
gone, and will 
bloom right up 
until rather 
heavy frosts. 
However, a suc¬ 
cession is de- 
s i r a b 1 e, and 
can be had in 
several ways. 
By planting 
seed at inter¬ 
vals of several 
weeks from 
March indoors 
to last of May 
outdoors, you 
can prolong the 
aster season a 
number of 
weeks. Planting 
early and late 
varieties at the 
same time will 
also accomplish 
this to a con¬ 
siderable ex¬ 
tent. 
New Super Giant Aster—“El Monte” 
EL MONTE is a companion to the original Super Giant, Los Angeles. Same type and a 
real giant. The only really large flowered crimson Aster. 
Color, deep glowing crimson, composed of abundant quantities of daintily interlaced 
plume-like petals, the flowers are extremely large and fluffy, borne on heavy non-lateral, 
basal branched stems. 
EL MONTE is early blooming for such a giant variety, coming in before the California 
Giant varieties, and remaining in flower for a long time. Pkt. 25c.
