EARLY AND SECOND-EARLY ASTERS— COMPACT TYPE 



IMPERIAL DAYBREAK ASTER 



These asters were introduced by Vick and 

 are improved successors to the long popular 

 and well-known Victoria or Washington 

 Asters. The blossoms are very double and 

 compact, and have always been a favorite 

 with florists, both because of their medium 

 early-flowering period and for their own 

 peculiar beauty. The following two are the 

 best known and most popular Daybreak 

 sorts: 



Price, pkt., 75 seeds, 8c; 2 for 14c. 



Purity Daybreak. Pure white, splendid 

 for bouquets or design work. Great bloom- 

 er. 



Shell-pink Daybreak. Very double, 

 perfectly formed flowers of a delicate flesh 

 pink. 



QUEEN OF THE MARKET 



If you want Asters at the earliest possible 

 date this should be in your purchase, es- 

 pecially if you grow commercially, as the 

 earliest blooms always bring the best prices. 

 It comes from 2 to 4 weeks earlier than any 

 other sort and is besides a handsome flower. 



Price, pkt., 125 seeds, 5c; 3 pkts., 12c. 

 Lavender and Light Blue 

 Dark Blue and Purple Crimson 



White Light Pink Mixed 



PEONY-FLOWERED ASTER 



One of the handsomest sorts, with very double, ball- 

 like flowers. One of my customers said these were 

 among her largest and finest asters. 



Price, Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c; 3 pkts., 12c. 

 Crimson Rose White 



Blood Red Dark Blue Mixed 



Peony Aster Collection. A collection of the above. 

 6 half-packets, for 16c. 



Mackinac Is., Mich. "Your Asters have been a sight 

 to gladden the heart." — Mrs. H. G. Brown. 



Peony-Flowered Aster 



Royal Aster 



ROYAL ASTER 



This is one of Vick's Introductions, and is 

 without doubt one of the best all-around 

 Asters, possessing all the good qualities of 

 the Late Branching sorts — large, full and 

 prolific bloom, combined with the early 

 habit of Queen of the Market, as it follows 

 close upon this earliest variety. Large, el- 

 egant flowers on long, strong stems. 



Price, Pkt., 75 seeds, 5c; 3 pkts., 12c. 

 Lavender Shell-pink Rose-pink 



Purple White Mixed 



VICK'S CARDINAL ASTER 



A dark red Aster splendid for bedding, 

 making a brilliant show from early August 

 till the close of the season. Used in a mass 

 they are as handsome as a bed of geran- 

 iums. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c. 



Bargain Pansy and Aster Offer

ASTER ADVICE 

 What Varieties Shall I Buy? 



For early. Queen of the Market; for mid-sea- 

 son. Daybreak, Comet. Crego. Rochester, the 

 last three preferred; for late, Semple'a and In- 

 vincible types, both are fine. 



Don't be Afraid of My Low Price* 



You can pay more for Aster seed if you want 

 to, but you won't get anything better. My price 

 i9 low, not because of low grade, but of my cus- 

 tom to lessen the size of the packet, thus giving 

 a larger selection for the same outlay.
