The Florists^ Review

Mr. Chas. H. Vick was formerly president of Jas. Vick's Sons, but is now associated with 

 Geo. B. Hart, Rochester's well known Wholesale Florist. 



High Grade Aster Seed 



We are fortunately in a position to supply high grade Aster Seed in various colors and any desired quantity. 



Scarcity of Seed 



The general scarcity of Aster Seed this season leads us to emphasize the importance of sending us your 

 order without delay. 



Avoid Inferior Seed 



Our Aster Seed is from healthy stock, absolutely free from stem rot and the other diseases so prevalent 

 last season. Florists may be confident of uniformly good results in purchasing Aster Seed passed on by Mr. 

 Charles H. Vick, who introduced the first large flowered American Aster, Vick's Late Branching, known the 

 world over.

words, three pages arc devoted to the 

 most important vegetables, or those 

 which we are accustomed to think of as 

 staples. Another three pages are de- 

 voted to what we choose to consider the 

 winter staples. Vining vegetables, to 

 which little apace is given in the aver- 

 age home garden, are condensed to one 

 page. Thus I believe that we have given 

 to each class, and to each variety within 

 the different classes, as much space as 

 it is entitled to." 



Mr. Kruhm's idea has been carried 

 right along throughout the flower seeds, 

 bulbous stock and other departments as 

 well. There is a chapter on "Lawns,"

TO CONTROL ONION THRIPS. 



The onion thrips is an insect so small 

 that it is almost invisible to the un- 

 aided eye, but it is prolific and the most 

 serious menace to the onion growing in- 

 dustry of this country. It causes an 

 annual loss to this crop alone estimated 

 by specialists of the U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture to be at least $2,250,000. 



Though the insect has a particular lik- 

 ing for onions, it preys upon other gar- 

 den and truck crops, such as cabbage, 

 cauliflower, cucumbers and melons, and 

 also has a ravenous appetite for green- 

 house and many ornamental plants, par- 

 ticularly roses. To aid growers in iden- 

 tifying this insect and preventing the 

 losses for which it is responsible, Farm- 

 ers' Bulletin No. 1007, "Control of 

 Onion Thrips," has recently been pub- 

 lished by the U. S. Department of Agri- 

 culture. 



The first indication that an onion field 

 has been attacked by thrips, according 

 to the bulletin, is shown by the leaves.
