Super Giant Aster "Los Angeles" 
This new aster while similar to the well- 
known Giants of California in habit of 
growth and flower, is larger and finer. 
The petals are interlaced and curled in a 
most artistic manner, the centers deep and 
full. The color of Los Angeles is pure shell 
pink, a shade lacking in the Giants of 
California. The stems are also longer and 
stronger, making them unsurpassed for 
cutting or florist use. Per pkt. 10c. 
Super Giant Aster "El Monte" 
A beautiful crimson form of the well- 
known super giant strain of Asters. El 
Monte has all the good qualities of Los 
Angeles, both as to size, flower form and 
vigorous plant growth. It was an All- 
America Selection in 1936 and continues 
to gain in popularity. Price per pkt. 10c.
