ASTER, EARLY GIANT, LIGHT BLUE 
ASTER (a) 
We can imagine no other flower which combines so much 
beauty with grace and usefulness and with which more brilliant 
effects can be achieved. From July until September this flower 
reigns supreme in the garden, not equaled by any other. For 
these obvious reasons we give a great deal of attention to these 
flowers, and are in a position to offer our patrons remarkably 
fine strains, producing perfect flowers of great beauty. To do 
well, Asters require a well pulverized soil, always kept open 
by continuous cultivation. Height, | to 3 feet. 
PRINCESS ASTER, Wilt-resistant. A very attractive new cut- 
ing type of wilt-resistant aster, 2-214 ft. tall, branching and 
free flowering, early blooming, bearing quantities of 3-3 2 in. 
flowers on strong stems. Flowers have a full deep crested 
center, surrounded by several rows of dainty plume-like guard 
petals. See illustration.

become a universal favorite. Characterized by the well-known 
Crego type of flower, combined with the Beauty Aster’s 
long, non-lateral, branching stems, the California Giants, 
double type Aster, stands at the head of the list.
