Giant Sunshine Asters 
improved Anemone-Flowered 
A beautiful type of Aster, forming well-branched bushes carrying a pro- 
fusion of excellent long-stemmed flowers. Some of the flowers have twisted 
petals and some have quilled petals; all have a cushion center of tiny quills of 
a contrasting color which makes a flower look as if it were covered with snow 
flakes. The blue flowers are dotted with a paler blue and some in white, and 
the rose in a lighter shade of pink or white. Their delicate beauty is hard to 
describe. Excellent for garden display and particularly fine for cutting. We 
offer a fine mixture of colors, including the bright and delicate shades of blue, 
lilac, crimson, rose and white. Pkt., 15c; ¥% oz., 70c. 
Heart of France (Wilt Resistant) 
A wonderful pure red Aster. Nearly all others have shades of blue or too 
much: yellow in the color pigments. Heart of France opens red as the purest 
Tuby, deepens with age and retains its remarkable beauty to the very end. 
The petals appear strikingly changeable, showing now a glow and sheen quite 
unique, now a soft warm velvety texture. In any light, natural or artificial, 
Heart of France is startlingly beautiful and will command instant admiration.
