The Weekly Rorists* Review. 



NOVBHBEB 19, 1908. 



praise of our asters, and to make only 

 such statements as could be corroborated 

 by any careful grower using our seed. 

 We do not violate our policy by these 

 statements with reference to this aster. 

 Indeed, it is di£ScuIt to find words to 

 convey a correct impression of the high 

 value we set on this splendid aster." 



Vick's Mikado Pink belongs to the 

 Comet class. The outer petals show to 

 their full extent, while toward the center 

 they curl across each other, making a 

 large, full, fluffy flower. The color is 

 between Vick's Branching Pink and 

 Semple's Pink. The growth is that of 

 the Branching type. It is vigorous and 

 did well in the dry season just past. 

 Its period of blooming is between Queen 

 of the Market and Vick's Branching. 

 The firm states its opinion that under 

 favorable conditions flowers can be grown 

 seven and one-half inches in diameter 

 and on stems two feet or more Jong.

ERFURT SEED CROPS. 



At Erfurt, Germany, the September 

 and October weather was fine and seed 

 crops were handled under most favor- 

 able circumstances. Turnip-rooted beets 

 are short, while the long kinds have done 

 fairly well. Garden kales are good, but 

 the feeding kinds, such as Thousand- 

 head, are scarce. Cabbages and savoys 

 have yielded poorly; still, stocks of some 

 of the leading kinds are heavy and no 

 great advances in price are probable. 

 Brussels sprouts are under average. Some 

 carrots aro plentiful, especially field car- 

 rots, while the shorter sorts of garden 

 carrot are mostly under average. Cauli- 

 flowers are a good crop, and the same 

 may be said of celery, chicory, cucum- 

 ber, tomato and spinach. Endives are 

 fair. Kohlrabi has in general not 

 turned out well, but owing to stocks in 

 hand prices will likely be about the same. 

 Lettuce, radish and parsley are all above 

 the average. Parsnips are fair to good. 

 Of onions the yellow varieties have done 

 well; Zittau is middling, and the red 

 kinds are short. Turnips have yielded 

 freely, except the White Dutch, which 

 is poor. The leading herbs, such as 

 savory, borage, lavender and marjoram, 

 are mostly good crops, sage especially so, 

 whereas thyme has done badly.
