ASTER, RAINBOW 
ASTER (China Aster) 
One of the best summer annuals. New wilt-resistant strains are free of the blight 
which has caused so much garden trouble. The types listed are a selection of the best 
for garden use. We have used them all for cut flowers with great success. Good soil 
and cultivation pay in returned bloom. 
California Giants. Tall growing plants to 3 or 31% feet with long branching stems. 
Flowers are large, often measuring 5 inches and are composed of beautifully curled and 
interlaced petals. All of the lovely aster colors are included. In mixture only. Pkt. 15e.
