ASTERS 
EARLY GIANTS 
Wilt Resistant. FOUR WEEKS EARLIER THAN CALIFORNIA GIANTS. 
The earliest of the long stemmed Giant Flowering Asters. Fully four to five 
weeks earlier than California Giants although not quite so tall, about 2 ft. The 
flowers are of huge size up to 5 inches across and of wonderful substance, with 
long petals that fluffily curl across each other creating exquisite blooms. Strong 
stems, grand for cutting and the colors are enchanting. 
This type is much better than California Giants because it is far earlier to bloom, 
just as large and beautiful with same growing habits and strong stems and per- 
haps best of all, is Wilt resistant.

hardly more than one foot wide. The flowers are 3 to 314 inches across and car- 
ried on long cutting stems, ALL at the top of the plant like a large bunch of 
fluffy powderpuffs. Imagine such a mass of blooms in delightful colors of pink, 
azure, rose, crimson, white, scarlet and blue and so thick, the foliage can hardly 
be seen. As many as twenty long stemmed flowers per plant. Early blooming, in 
August and highly wilt-resistant. Available in a mixture only.

BELLS OF IRE- 
LAND. Annual. A 
beautiful interesting 
and most unusual 
plant. Graceful 2 foot 
branching stems are 
so surrounded by 2 
inch flowers to allow 
little room for leaves. 
The bell shaped calyx

translucent green and 
definitely veined, con- 
taining the tiny, curi- 
ously formed white 
coralla. Splendid for 
eutting fresh or as a 
dried flower for win- 
ter bouquets. Really a 
native of Syria but 
the common name is 
readily appreciated.
