Atter. Vick's New Early 



Branching. Non - lateral 

 =- H. A. The 



Early Branching come into 

 bloom about t'wo ^eeks 

 earlier tban tbe Late Brancbing. The plants have but few 

 branches and are free from side buds, the whole strength of the 

 plant being given to the development of the very few large and 

 perfect flowers, which arn ))ome on extra long stems. We offer 

 two colors only. Early Brancbing Wbite, Early Branobing 

 Rose. Each, trade pkt.. 2oc; k oz.. 75c; Mi oz $1.25; oz., $;!.00. 



Aster, Branching Rosy Carmine. The color is hard to de- 



I scribe, but we think rosy 



carmine about right. As a cut flower variety this Aster catches trie 

 eye every time. Trade pkt.. 25c ; ^402., 76c; ^oz., $1.25; oz.,$2.00. 



Aater, Improved Early Branching Semple. f^o^lty, 



A seedling from that grand old variety Somple's Pink, which on 

 accouut of its earliness will certainly become equally and we predict 

 more popular than its parent. The color is of the same shade of 

 bright pink and the habit of the plant and form of flowers are iden- 

 tical, being of the same strong robust growtli and branching habit. 

 Its greatest value is in its earliness, blooming as it does ten days 

 earlier than Semple's Pink. Trade pkt., 25c; ^4 oz., 75c; ^ oz., 

 $1.25; oz..$2.00. 



Alter, Early Wonder. J?;.»i»t«- (Novelty. '08.) H. A. 

 ^-^^— .— ^.^— ^— — This is the earliest Aster in cultiva- 

 tion, blooming several days before Queen of the Market, with pure 

 white flowers double the size; nice shape and stands wtll. It is after 

 the style of the Giant Comet, and is destined to become the leading 

 early variety, and will prove a great acquisition to growers requir- 

 ing large, early blooms. Trade pkt., 25c; 6 pkts. for $1.00; ^ oz., 

 40c; k oz., 7.5c: ^ oz , $1 25: oz.. $2.00.

Asters, Crego. (Novelty. '09.) H. A. The Crego Asters are of 

 ^— — — ^^^^ American origin and are very strong growers, 

 attaining a height of from 2 to 3 feet, with long, strong stems. The 

 flowers are of a mammoth Comet tyi>e. measuring from 4 to 5 inches 

 in diameter and resembling large chrysanthemums. We offer the

 branch about 1 inches from the ground. Flowers are borne on 

 remarkably strong stalks, are all the purest white, of the genuine 

 HohenzoUorn form, with very long petals, and attain the enormous
