NEW SUPER GIANTS 
A marvelous California Giant late type. Flowers are not only very 
large but most artistic, due to the unusual curling and interlacing of the 
petals. No disbudding is necessary, due to the non-lateral habit.

SINGLE GIANT CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE 
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.
