Improved Giants of California, Curled and Interlaced 
(Also known on the Chicago Cut Flower Market as "Chicago Giant 
Beauty.") 
This new Aster is somewhat of the Crego and Beauty type, but is 
practically non-lateral, producing flowers of immense size without 
disbudding and of wonderful substance on strong, stiff stems 20 to 24 
inches long, acclaimed by wholesale and retail florists as the ideal 
of cut flower Asters.

Super Giant Los Angeles 
Award of Merit 1934 All-America Selections. 
Los Angeles, Bodger's introduction of a few seasons ago, is still one 
of the most popular and best selling Asters on the market. The first 
introduction in the modern Super Giant class, the flowers are fully 
double, 6 to 8 inches across, graceful and delicately interlaced. The 
long, stiff stems are basal branching and strictly non-lateral, bearing 
the large flowers smartly upright. Don't overlook this fine Aster.

Super Giant El Monte 
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 desired in the warmer 
lands. This wish is met completely in our new companion Super 
Giant, El Monte, the only really large flowered crimson Aster. Deep 
glowing crimson, composed of abundant quantities of daintily inter¬ 
laced 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 California Giant varieties, and re¬ 
maining in flower over a long period. Although not wilt-resistant, 
we highly recommend El Monte to you. Plant El Monte for your 
earliest Giant Aster. Tr. Pkt.35c Vi oz.80c Oz.$2.75
