Mammoth-Flowered 
Asters 
GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
Charmingly Beautiful 
The flowers are very large (5 inches across), full double, 
borne on long, strong stems, and the colors are exceedingly 
bright and rich. As the illustration shows, the petals are 
curled and interlaced so gracefully that the flowers are 
very beautifully formed. It is midseason in flowering. 
It has received the most enthusiastic praise from pro- 
fessional and amateur growers. Without question, it is one of 
the most gorgeous varieties of Aster in cultivation today. 
For the home-garden, for florists’ use and for marketing, 
it is the choice of thousands, for its enormous flowers on long, 
strong stems make it a fine cut-flower for vasing. Plants 
average 3 feet. Be very sure to grow this splendid variety.

Peppermint Stick Zinnia. 
Charming New Zinnia 
Peppermint Stick 
We offered this very pretty new flower last year to our 
flower lovers, and to say we were swamped with orders is putting 
it mildly. You will be thrilled with these bright-colored flowers 
as they open up their flashing stripes. 
Remember the bright-colored red and white striped stick 
candy at “a penny a stick?’’ Well, these bright-colored striped 
flowers remind you of that. Peppermint Zinnias are a rain- 
bow of stripes in the petals, red and white, red and yellow, 
pink and white, orange and yellow, and purple and white. 
The plants, 2% to 3 feet high, bear their flowers in great 
abundance on long strong stems, making them extremely 
valuable for cut-flowers. Indeed, they are a cut-and-come- 
again variety and if kept picked will bloom all summer until 
frost. Seventy per cent of the flowers will be striped. Pkt.
