Asters —Continued 
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 Fusar- 
ium wilt. 
American Branching. 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 unsurpassed.

Beauty Asters. (Early Type). This type, recent¬ 
ly introduced, has all the characteristics of the 
Late Beauty type; strong branching plants; long 
stems ; large, well-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.

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. Pkt. 14 -Oz. Oz.
