 ASTERS-COMPACT TYPE 



Any Three 5-cent Aster Pkts., 12c; 

 Any Three 8-cent Pkts., 20c. 



IMPERIAL DAYBREAK ASTER 



These Asters were introduced by Vick. 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., 100 seeds, 8c; 2 for 14c. 



Purity Daybreak. Pure white, splendid for 

 bouquets or design work. Great bloomer. 



Shell-pink Daybreak. Very double, perfectly 

 formed flowers of a delicate flesh pink. 



Daybreak Aster, Mixed. Above two mixed. 



QUEEN OF THE MARKET 



If you want Asters at the earliest possible date 

 this should be in your purchase, especially 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 hand- 

 some flower.

Lavender Shell-pink

PEONY-FLOWERED ASTER 



One of the handsomest sorts, with very double, 

 ball-like flowers, resembling a Peony or some of the 

 new Chrysanthemums. One of my customers said 

 these were among her largest and finest asters. 

 Price, pkt., 100 seeds, 5c; 2 pkts., 8c.

White Perfection Aster 

 WHITE PERFECTION ASTER 



Best Mid-season White Aster. Vick places 

 this as the finest mid-season White Aster in cultiva- 

 tion. In form it is like the Upright Branching, the 

 plants being tall, with abundant flowers of ex- 

 quisite shape and very double, the centers strongly 

 whorled, and with long, strong stems, splendid for 

 cutting. Pkt., 50 seeds, 8c. 



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 eailiest variety. Large, elegant 

 flowers on long, strong stems (See cut on page 12). 

 Price, pkt., 75 seeds, 5c; 2 pkts., 8c.

VICK'S CARDINAL ASTER 



A dark red Aster splendid for bedding, mak- 

 ing a brilliant show from early August till the 

 close of the season. Used in a mass they are as 

 handsome as a bed of geraniums. Pkt., 100 

 seeds, 5c.
