colors we may again enjoy their lovely masses of bloom with ample 
spikes for cutting. Sow in fall for early bloom: early spring for 
summer bloom.

season in most varied color range from creams through orange to 
red. Sow September-June. Pkt. 25c; Va oz. $1.25. 
ASTERS 
Few flowers are as lovely in the garden or as useful cut. Half- 
hardy annuals, they may be sown indoors March-April, or in the 
open when safe from frost. I offer here what 1 believe to be the 
finest types for the home garden and cutting. 
California Giant Sunshine. A lovely type, 3 feet tall, with blooms 
6 inches across on stiff stems. See picture. My Supreme Mixture 
includes shades of purple, light blue, salmon-pink, snow white, and 
other lovely tones on the long guard petals, with the quilled centers 
yellow. Pkt. 20c; Va oz. 75c. 
Super Giant Los Angeles (2-2 */2 ft.) One of the very loveliest flowers 
I know with very large flowers, the petals curled and interlaced on 
extra long stems and pure shell pink. Pkt. 20c; Va oz. 60c. 
Improved Giant Crego (Wilt-resistant). Marvelous garden Asters of 
the same type and as lovely as a Chrysanthemum. Sturdy well 
branched plants 2 feet tall produce an immense number of blooms 
5 inches across, in all colors known to the Aster. Supreme Mixture, 
all colors, pkt. 15c; Va oz. 35c; Vi oz. 65c. 
Golden Sheaf (Wilt-resistant). The deepest yellow Aster yet pro¬ 
duced. Fully double with several rows of soft yellow ray petals 
surrounding a crest-like center cushion of canary-yellow. Most de¬ 
sirable. 2 feet high. Pkt. 15c; Va oz. 45c. 
Giant Comet Illusion (A. A. S. 1938). A new color of Asters, Illusion 
is a soft pastel shade of apricot-pink. The large flowers are borne 
on sturdy plants 2 feet tall and come very early. Pkt 20c; Vi oz. 60c.
