MURPHY SEED CO., LOS ANGELES — CALIFORNIAS FINEST’ 
CROWN ASTERS— New and Improved 
This new Aster has been developed and improved 
by one of the best seed growers in Southern 
California. The splendid texture of the petals and 
the tightly crested center make it a superior flower 
for shipping. The shape and size of the flowers 
plus their excellent keeping qualities makes it very 
desirable for every use by particular florists. It 
has taken over eight years to improve these strains 
and get all colors properly segregated. The early 
varieties grow from 15 to 24 inches tall and the 
other varieties from 18 to 30 inches tall. The early 
varieties are usually about 2 to 3 weeks earlier 
than the others. 
This is the first year we have been able to offer 
this complete list of colors to our customers.
