Eight Fine Mixtures 
73. Giant Fringed Single. These giant curled and fringed 
single Asters are beautiful and showy. Fine for bou- 
quets and sell readily in the market. 
74, California Giant Sunshine. A new race of Asters 
growing 3 feet high and bearing blossoms 4 to 6 inches 
across on long stiff stems. The color is startlingly 
beautiful. A dual tone effect is produced through the 
contrasting tints of the disclike center and the outer 
or guard petals. They vary in shades of Enchantress 
pink, appleblossom, deep rose, blue and lavender, but 
the disc sometimes light yellow, sometimes blue, 
brings additional variety in tint. Mixed colors. 
75. Mammoth Peony Flowered. These new improved 
Giant Mammoth Peony-Flowered Asters somewhat re- 
semble the late Beauty Type with massive incurved 
flowers. Blossoms almost round and produced on long 
stems. Fine for cutting or shipping. 
76. Tall Ostrich Mixed. This new wilt-proof strain re- 
sembles the Japanese Tassel Asters with their long 
showy ostrich type blossoms. Very free flowering and 
one of the best of the curly Asters. 
77. King Asters Mixed. A magnificent class of Asters, 
distinct from all others. The long, narrow petals are 
folded lengthwise, appearing almost as though quilled. 
The flowers are of great size and substance and last 
longer when cut than those of almost any other class. 
The plants are large and the stems exceptionally long 
and strong. All are strikingly handsome and fold 
petals like a Cactus Dahlia. 
78. Giant Comet or Late Express Mixed. These have very 
large fluffy flowers with twisted petals and somewhat 
resemble Chrysanthemums. Wilt-proof. 
79. July Queens Mixed. These, while not so large and 
showy as some late varieties, are fair size, double, and 
produced on long stems. They will-bloom before late 
sorts bud. Fine for early use. Wilt-proof. 
80. California Giant Mixed. There has been a popular 
demand for a large late Crego or Ostrich Feather Aster 
with the long stems of the late Beauty Type. This de- 
mand is now supplied in the California Giants. Flow- 
ers are larger and more substantial than the Crego, 
measuring 5 to 6 inches in diameter. 
Any of above mixtures: Pkt., 8c; 1 pkt. of each 
of 8 for 50c.
