1944 | -$Ow - SALZER’S : SEEDS: 

Annual. 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. 





































Salzer’s California Giant 
CALIFORNIA GIANT 
This marvelous type makes about 
the best display of any Aster in the 
garden. 
It is a eross between the Beauty 
Type of Aster and the Crego Aster, 
combining the vigorous tall growth 
of the former with the lovely, double, 
large flower of the latter. Salzer’s 
California Giant carries its blooms at 
the end of its long stems, without the 
small side branches, producing enor- 
mous flowers of‘ wonderful substance 
on strong, stiff stems 20 to 24 inches 
long. The flowers measure 5 to 6 
inches in diameter, with long petals 
that fluffily curl across each other and 
produce an exquisite bloom that has 
no equal, 
Wherever exhibited, this superb 

\ Aster has won prizes. We offer:

Wilt-Resistant Asters 
Loss of seedlings or transplanted 
plants, stunted, one-sided and off color 
plants in those that survive, dark col- 
ored streaks in the stem, yellowing of 
the upper leaves and death of the lower 
leaves-are characteristics of Aster wilt 
or Aster stem-rot. The wilt organisms 
are capable of prolonged existence in 
one’s soil and the only remedy is WILT. 
RESISTANT SEED. 
This seed is practically immune to 
wilt and stem rot and produces flowers 
on soil upon which ordinary seed would 
not possibly grow. In one severe test, 
plants from this  wilt-resistant seed 
grew splendidly while 93% from ordi- 
nary seed Succumbed. We offer wilt- 
resistant seed of the following: s
