SALZER’S NEW SUNSHINE ASTERS 
A new type of aster of singular beauty and great merit. You will be 
Impressed and delighted with the large flowers which are 4 to 6 inches in 
diameter and which are half double, exhibiting the grace and beauty of 
the single aster, but greatly enhanced by a cushion center of tiny quills 
of a contrasting color. The golden yellow ground-tone of the quilled 
center petals, harmonizes beautifully with the pink, blue, lilac and white 
of the outer petals, which form a charming loosely curled circle. The 
plant is of branching habit, bearing its lovely flowers on long and strong 
stems, making it invaluable as a cut flower.
