SUPER GIANTS 
El Monte. Deep glowing crimson, composed of abundant quantities 
of daintily interlaced plume-like petals; extremely large and fluffy, 
borne on heavy non-lateral, basal branched stems. Very early bloom- 
ing, coming in before the California Giant varieties, and remaining 
in flower over a long period. 
Los Angeles. (Award of Merit, All-America Selections.) The flowers 
are fully double, 6 to 8 inches across, graceful and delicately inter- 
laced. The long, stiff stems are basal branching and strictly non- 
lateral, bearing the large flowers smartly upright. 
MISCELLANEOUS VARIETIES 
Harmony Mixture (New). A fine cut flower variety. Shades of light 
and deep blue, flesh, peach blossom, silvery rose, purple, and white. 
Flowers have full-double quilled centers. 2 to 2% feet tall, blooms 4 
to 4Y% inches across. 
Rosalie. American branching type. Fully double flowers are 4 inches 
in diameter. The color is a deep rose-pink, bright and attractive, and 
the flowers are borne on long, clean stems. What is really outstanding 
about this new Aster is its ability to produce flowers that are 100% 
double throughout the season, and at no time are the centers exposed.
