ASTERS 
Animal, Asters love an open, 
sunny position and it is well not to 
plant them in the same bed two 
years in succession. Seed may be 
started indoors in April or sown 
outside in May. Space the plants 
15 in. apart.

California Giant Asters 
CALIFORNIA 
GIANT 
A cross between the 
Beauty Type of Aster and 
the Crego Aster, coiubining 
the vigorous tail growth of 
the former with the lovely, 
double, large flower of the 
latter. Salzer’s California 
Giant is practically non-lat¬ 
eral, but instead, carries its 
blooms at the end of its long 
stems, without the small side 
branches, producing e n o r - 
mous flowers of wonderful 
substance on strong, stiff 
stems 20 to 24 inches long. 
The flowers measure .5 1 3 (> 
inches in diameter, with long 
petal.s that fiiiflily curl a<-ro.s.s 
each other and produce an 
exquisite bloom that has no 
equal.
