ASTERS, 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 Jovely 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 recom- 
mend this lovely Aster.
