Aster Super Giant El Monte (Bodger) 
Special Mention \ALL~AMERICA! SELECTIONS/ 1936 
E ACH SEASON El Monte is grown, it becomes more popular. Last year we 
had very fine reports on it, but during this year we have had even better 
comments. It has more than fulfilled all expectations for it as the very finest, 
extra large flowered crimson Aster available. The color is a good strong crim¬ 
son and the flowers, which are composed of abundant quantities of daintily 
interlaced plume-like petals, are extremely large and fluffy, a super giant form 
of the popular Ostrich Feather type. Each plant produces only 6 to 8 flowers, 
each one borne on a heavy, non-lateral basal branched stem. Since El Monte 
is unusually early blooming, coming into flower in early September, it can be 
grown in practically any climate. Although not wilt resistant, we recommend 
El Monte very highly.
