VICK'S ASTERS 



A WORp ABOUT OUR SEED FARMS 



The accompanylnflr pictures of Asters were taken on our Orchard Farm. Only a few years 

 ago our entire crop of Asters was grown on this farm. The demand has grown to such an ex- 

 tent that we shall cultivate, bext summer, 250 acres, 125 of which consists of Asters. Even 

 in our efforts to keep up with the demand, we are working still harder to get larger and better 

 varieties. During the summer and autumn months, particularly during August and September, 

 thousands of people visit our farms for the purpose of seeing the vast expanse of flowers, of 

 which we grow many other kinds besides Asters. Last year our field of Phlox Drummondii at- 

 tracted much attention. In fact, we grow more or less of a large number of varieties all the 

 way from Sweet Alyssum down the alphabetical list to Zinnias. At the time when the flowers 

 were at the height of bloom, about the middle of September, a careful estimate one Sunday 

 placed the number of visitors at more than seven thousand, and 1300 automobiles. Florists 

 and others are always welcome to visit our farms and to study the various varieties needed in 

 their trade.

VICK'S ROYAL 

 ASTER 



A magnificent strain 

 of early Asters, every 

 color of which has been 

 introduced by us, the 

 first of which was Vick 's 

 Royal Purple, which for 

 a number of years has 

 been one of the best 

 selling colors. If sown 

 at the same time as 

 Queen of the Market, 

 it follows that variety 

 very closely. The plants 

 are of the Branching 

 type, and many florists 

 find that the use of 

 Vick's Eoyal in connec- 

 tion with Queen of the 

 Market makes a very 

 profitable arrangement. 

 We have several colors, 

 all of which are popular 

 florist's shades. They 

 are as follows: White, 

 Shell - Pink, Lavender- 

 Pink, Lavender, Purple 

 and Eose.

 eties for prices.
