Another of the lovely flowers which have come to 
us lately from Africa. The hybrids come in a bril¬ 
liant assortment of showy daisy-like flowers predom¬ 
inating in orange and bronzy red shades, but also 
comprising many lovely shades of rose, cream, yellow 
and salmon. In the milder climates they may be 
classed as a perennial, but in the northern latitudes 
they are better treated as an annual. Pkt. 15c.

ASTERS 
QUEEN OF THE ANNUALS 
In recent years we have paid particular attention t« 
American grown Asters, for they have greatly in¬ 
creased the popularity of this flower. We know of no 
other flower so easily raised from seed, which combines 
so much beauty with grace and usefulness and is 
more satisfactory than Asters. They make a brilliant 
effect when grown in masses and furnish a constant 
supply of cut flowers. Every garden, large or small, 
should contain Asters. 
Culture—Sow either in the open ground in May or 
in March or April in cold frame, spent hot-beds or pots 
or boxes in the house, covering the seed with about 
14 -inch of good rich soil; when the plants are strong 
enough, transplant about 18 inches apart in deeply- 
dug, well-prepared beds. 
ASTER SUPER GIANT LOS ANGELES 
Aster Los Angeles is the first variety of this giant 
race, and how beautifully it upholds the romantic 
traditions of its namesake, the glamorous city of 
sunshine and flowers. The color is a serenely pure 
shell pink, in flowers which are full petaled, deep, 
and unusually large, yet artisticallv graceful in the 
feathery effect of the interlacing petals. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER WILT RESISTANT BLUE 
FLAME (Bodger) 
ASTERS 
AMERICAN BEAUTY 
Similar in type of flower 
and growth to the well 
.known Late Branching 
Asters, but differs in that all 
the large blossoms are pro¬ 
duced on much longer and 
heavier stems. Some of the 
individual stems measure 
more than two feet in length. 
It makes a very heavy 
growth, and is one of the 
latest flowering Asters that 
we know. This should be in 
every garden.

largest of all Asters, the 
petals being exceedingly long 
and wavy and the flowers 
borne on stems some fifteen 
inches in length. It is a 
monster among Asters. A 
real treat awaits anyone who

CALIFORNIA GIANT DOUBLE 
We take pleasure in recommending this type as the 
best Aster on the market today. Characterized by 
the well known Crego or Ostrich Feather type of 
flower, combined with the Beauty Asters’ long, non¬ 
lateral branching stems and sturdy habit of growth, 
the California Giant Double type of Aster stands at 
the head of the list, not only for florists’ use but also 
for private gardens where quality is appreciated.

In line with the trend of the times, we present 
Blue Flame, one of our contributions to the code for 
better flowers. The color is bright navy blue, distinct 
from any other dark blue or purple aster now offered, 
of the Giant Branching Crego class, with large Crego 
type flowers, fully double, on branching plants, suitable 
for cutting or garden use. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER WILT RESISTANT GOLDEN 
SHEAF (Bodger) 
We take pleasure in introducing Golden Sheaf, the 
deepest yellow aster yet offered, and the only one that 
is wilt resistant. The flowers are fully double, with 
an attractive crest-like center, of good substance and 
fine depth of petal. Pkt. 15c. 
ASTER WILT RESISTANT GIANT 
SALMON QUEEN (Bodger) 
Few people realize that there is an aster of the 
fascinating shade of salmon found in Salmon Queen. 
It is a clear, pure salmon pink, blending to a rich 
gold salmon at the center. The flowers, large and 
well formed, are of the feathery Comet type, on long 
stemmed early flowering upright plants. Pkt. 15c. 
SINGLE GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
It was developed out of the Double Giants of Cal¬ 
ifornia type. The flowers are large, measuring three 
to four inches across, with stems 18 to 24 inches in 
length. The petal has a slight twist, which adds a 
piquant touch to its beauty. The white blossoms 
resemble Shasta Daisies in appearance, but their 
greater length of stem makes them more graceful and 
better adapted to florist’s use. In the garden, the 
Single Giants of California add a charming note of 
simplicity among the fuller types of Asters. We be¬ 
lieve this new, single type of Aster is destined to 
become very popular. We can supply this in White, 
Rose, Light Blue, Purple, and Mixed, at 15c per pkt., 
2 pkts. 25c. 
GIANT OSTRICH FEATHER ASTER 
The finest type of the Giant Comet, or Ostrich 
Feather type of Aster. Much larger than the Giant 
Comet, the petals longer, more twisted, and produced 
in greater abundance. Borne on long stems, they make 
cut-flowers par-excellence.
