AN AMAZING NEW STRAIN 
A fungus disease known to growers as “Wilt” attacks many varieties of Asters, especially when 
planted on the same soil year after year, in fact, this disease will stay in the ground from ten to fifteen 
or more years. This new “Anti-Wilt” strain produces stronger plants and larger flowers and we guar¬ 
antee this strain against wilt.

PIKE'S ASTERMUM 
The Beauty of the Aster—the size of the Chrysanthemum. The As- 
termums differ from all other of their type in the larger size and greater 
profusion of their flowers, each plant, bearing from 20 to 30 blossoms. 
These loose, airy heads, made up of very long, wavy, twisted petals, 
have a distinct feathery effect, resembling the finest Japanese Chrysan¬ 
themums. Plants grow 2 feet high. Mixed Pkt., 10c; Va oz - 39c. 
SUPER GIANT LOS ANGELES 
The Super Giant Los Angeles was given Award of Merit, All Ameri¬ 
can Selections 1934. It is the most fully double of any Aster and the 
largest Aster grown. The flowers are from six to eight inches across, 
full petaled and artistically graceful in the feathery effect of the inter¬ 
lacing ostrich feather type petals. The color is a lovely soft shell pink, 
blending to a creamy pink at the center. The plants reach a height of 
2 V 2 to 3 feet, with six to eight long, non-lateral stems per plant. For 
those who want the finest Aster yet developed, we heartily recommend 
the Super Giant Los Angeles. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; Va oz., 39c.
