Salzer’s California Giant Asters IIA 
This marvelous type is the finest Aster in 
cultivation today, and commands the highest 
price at the cut-flower markets of all of our 
large cities. No less, does it make the best dis¬ 
play of any Aster in the garden. 
It is a cross between the Beauty Type of Aster 
and the Crego Aster, combining the vigorous tail 
growth of the former with the lovely, double, 
large flower of the latter. Salzer’s California 
Giant is practically non-lateral, but instead, car¬ 
ries its blooms at the end of its long stems, 
without the small side branches, producing enor¬ 
mous flowers of wonderful substance on strong, 
stiff stems 20 to 24 inches long. The flowers 
measure 5 to 6 inches in diameter, with long 
petals that fluffily curl across each other and 
produce an exquisite bloom that has no equal. 
Wherever exhibited, this superb Aster has won 
prizes and received awards of merit. 
Mrs. Lester L. Band, R. D. 3, Auburn, Maine, 
writes, “Friends thought that the California 
Giant Asters that I raised had been bought from 
a florist.'* Mrs. E. Meyers, 3418 E.'126th St„ 
Cleveland, 0., writes: “Your California Giant 
Asters last year were the most beautiful Asters 
I have ever had!” Mrs. Lillian B. Ten Eyck. 
R. D. 1, Box 165, Sandy, Ore., writes: “We 
have beautiful bouquets gralore from your Cali¬ 
fornia Giant Asters.” Miss Valeria Kielas, Com- 
frey, Minn., writes: “Your California Giant As¬ 
ters were just beautiful.”
