comprises a fine, full color range of popular colors including 
exquisite shades of pink, rose apricot, bronze, orange, light

sider this strain an excellent all around type, equally fine for 
border, cutting and florist use. Since it has been inspected and 
approved by most critical authorities, we offer this Rust Proof 
California Giant Mixture with our full confidence. Pkt. 25c.

Majus Grandiflorum Pinkie—Rust Proof (Bodger) 
(Grower’s Description) 
Pinkie, our first Rust Proof Antirrhinum introduction, is an 
excellent florist’s forcing variety, as well as for general garden 
use. It is of the popular Majus Grandiflorum type, tall and 
robust growing, producing numerous fine cutting spikes of 
large, well spaced florets of a delightful shade of pure clear 
rose. The color is very similar to An¬ 
tirrhinum Nelrose. The strain comes 
about 90% resistant, and carries our 
recommendation. Pkt. 25c. 
ASTER 
Super Giant El Monte 
(Grower’s Description) 
Two seasons ago we introduced the 
sensational new Super Giant Aster Los 
Angeles, a delicate shell pink color. 
Extremely popular in the cooler 
climes, a more rugged color was de¬ 
sired in the warmer lands. This wish 
is met completely in our new com¬ 
panion Super Giant, El Monte, the 
only really large flowered crimson 
Aster. Deep glowing crimson, com¬ 
posed of abundant quantities of dain¬ 
tily interlaced plume-like petals, the 
flowers are extremely large and 
fluffy, borne on heavy non-lateral, 
basal branched stems. It is very early 
blooming, coming in before the Cali¬ 
fornia Giant varieties, and remaining 
in flower over a long period. Although 
not wilt resistant, we highly recom¬ 
mend El Monte to you. Pkt. 20c.
