Asters in the World. 



TWO NEW VARIETIES FOR 1908. 



Vick*s Imperial Sunrise 



A novelty of extraordinary merit. Seed- 

 ling from Vick's Daybreak, but distinct in 

 form of flower, each petal being perfectly 

 quilled. Color, delicate pink. Plant a 

 robust grower, upright branches, each 

 crowned with magnificent double flowers, 

 three to five inches in diameter. Type se- 

 curely fixed. Sure to be a winner, racket, 

 25c; two packets or more, 20c each. 



Vick's Early Branching 



Developed from Vick's Late Branching. 

 Flowers of this new variety can be placed 

 on the market ten days ahead of Late 

 Branching sorts. Plants have few branches 

 which are free from side buds, the whole 

 strength of the plant being given to the de- 

 velopment of large, perfectly double flow- 

 ers. Long stems. Two colors. White and 

 Rose. Packet, 25c; two packets or more, 

 20c each. For prices in quantity see our 

 "Aster Book for Florists."
