VICK QUALITY 



ASTERS 



THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE 





Our Best Novelty 



VICK*S MIKADO PINK, Premier of SheU 

 pink Altera. For years we have seen the 

 necessity of a good, mid-season Comet type shell pink 

 Aster. Now we have it, and it's a beauty. Every 

 wholesale florist who has seen it, praises it extrava- 

 gantly. Jast the thing to grow between the extra early 

 and the late flowering varieties. Habit similar to non- 

 lateral branchings. Stems, straight, long and strong. 

 Plant, vigorous; flowers, very large and yet very dainty. 

 Petals, long and narrow and gracefully reflexed. 

 Crown completely covered. Color, a charming sea 

 shell pink. Sold this year by packet only. Each, 25c. 



VICK*S MIKADO WHITE AND ROSE 



Every grower ought to have both of these colors to 

 go with Vick's Mikado Pink. Although we have cata- 

 logued these two colors before, we have never hereto- 

 fore had enough stock to fill orders. We have a 

 splendid stock this year, and prices are lower than ever 

 before. 



1-32 oz., 35c; 1-16 oz., 50c; }i oz., 85c; X oz.,$1.50; 

 }i oz., $2.75; 1 oz., $5.00. 



Two More New Asters 



VICK'S IMPERIAL LAVENDER 



Vick's Imperials, Daybreak and Purity, are known 

 wherever good Asters are grown. Vick's Imperial 

 Lavender possesses all of the splendid qualities of 

 Daybreak. Color, a pure lavender. Will sell well in 

 any market.

 $1.50; X oz., $2.50; }i oz.,$4.50; loz.,$8.00. 



VICK'S NON-LATERAL BRANCHING 



For several years we have been working to produce 

 a branching plant with fewer, stronger, longer stems, 

 without being sapped by side buds and shoots. We 

 now have a strain in which the whole strength of the 

 plant goes into from nine to fifteen stems, all of which 

 produce exhibition flowers. Two colors only, white 

 and rose. 



1-32 oz., 25c; 1-16 oz., 40c; H oz., 60c; Xoz.,$1.00; 

 K oz., $1.75; loz., $3.00.
