ASTERS of MERIT 
New Aurora Aster . . "Golden Sheaf" 
Golden Sheaf is the finest aster introduction of 1935. A new wilt-resistant variety of the famous 
Aurora type. The flowers, which are of the deepest yellow of any aster yet offered, are fully double 
with an attractive crestlike center, of good substance, and fine depth of petal. A new type and color 
which must be seen to be fully appreciated. Price per packet, 15c. 
Super Giant Aster. . "Los Angeles" 
This new aster while similar to the well-known Giants of California in habit of growth and 
flower is larger and finer. The petals are interlaced and curled in a most artistic manner, the centers 
deep and full. The color of Los Angeles is a pure shell pink, a shade lacking in the Giants of California. 
The stems are also longer and stronger, making them unsurpassed for cutting or florists use. Price 
per packet, 15c. 
American Branching Asters 
The blossoms of these asters have incurved petals and are large, double, and borne on 
long stiff stems. The flowers are peony-like and are sometimes known as the Beauty type. Excellent
