SINGLE GIANT CALIFORNIA 
SUNSHINE ASTERS 
This supremely beautiful new race of 
Asters is the result of a direct cross between 
California Giant and the Dwarf Sunshine 
type. The plants grow 3 feet high and bear 
blossoms 5 to 6 inches across, on long, stiff 
stems. The dual color-tone effects formed 
by the quilled discs and encircling guard 
petals are lovely beyond description; the 
quilled discs are lighter than the guard petals 
and as the flowers age the lemon centers turn 
to the color of the outer petals. We highly 
recommend this lovely Aster. Large
