Aster Mission Giants 
ASTER 
Mission Giants Mixed 
After many years of Trial 
Ground work, we are proud 
Macdonald 
to offer a complete mixture 
in an entirely new strain of 
Aster. Mission Giant is a strong branching type growing 24 inches 
tall, with heavy stems carrying large 5 inch flowers. Colors range 
from white and deep cream, thru flesh pink, rose, lavender and 
purple, 
It is the flower formation of Mission Giants that is really differ- 
ent. Two inch tightly quilled pin-cushion centers are delicately 
framed by multiple rows of American Beauty type guard petals— 
giving you a full double flower of striking appearance over 5 
inches in diameter. It is an especially attractive cut flower and 
we have found it lasts several days longer in water than other 
Asters. 
Trial Ground reports from California to the east coast indicate 
Mission Giants bloom profusely, are medium early flowering and 
well suited for both garden or commercial use.

ALYSSUM PURPLE MANTLE 
(Procumbens Type) 
Many years selection in our 
Trial Ground has produced 
uniform flat plants 10 to 12 
inches in diameter and un- 
Macdonald 
der 3 inches deep. In color tones it is an attractive deep purple 
violet-—a bit deeper than Violet Queen. 
Purple Mantle and Carpet of Snow are natural compliments to 
each other, both being of similar habit and growth. Purple Mantle 
stays in flower over an unusually long period, with racemes cf 
florets making a continuous display. As plants get older, it does 
not have the ragged spread appearance of other Alyssum. 
We are sure that gardeners everywhere will welcome Purple 
Mantle. It is so easy to grow and colorful for borders or mass 
effect plantings—where its rich purple color tones blend beautifully 
in the garden.
