ASTERS 
CALIFORNIA GIANTS 
Is a cross 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. 
California Giant is practically non-lateral, 
but instead, carries its blooms at the end of 
its long stems, without the small side 
branches, producing enormous 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 fiuffily curl across each other and pro- 
duce an exquisite bloom that has no equal. 
Wherever exhibited, this superb Aster 
has frequently won prizes and received 
awards of merit. ; 
We offer six separate colors.

93% from ordinary seed succumbed.
