EARLY GIANT WILT RESISTANT / (Bodger) 
The finest large flowered, heavy stemmed wilt resistant Aster yet developed. 
Flowers are of the large Giants of California type, while the plants are less 
tall, about 1 m in height, with strong heavy stems. This class is early blooming, 
coming into flower four to six weeks earlier than the Giants of California, 
that is during early to mid August. An exceptional new class.

EARLY CALIFORNIA GIANT / (Bodger) 
A new early blooming strain of the Giants of California Aster. The flower 
size and form are the same as in the later blooming group, while the plant habit 
resembles the Beauty class, with branching beginning rather high on the main 
stem, the flowers being borne erect. Blooming commences a week or more 
earlier than in the late class, or about the end of August under our conditions. 
We very highly recommend the new Early California Giant Asters for short 
season districts, or wherever a large flowered type is wanted early in the season.
