 ors, having a daisy-like beauty

 tive purposes. Pkt., 125 seeds, 5c. 



IMPERIAL DAYBREAK ASTERS 



These are Improved successors to the long-popular and well-known Victoria or Washington 

 Asters. The above illustration is a gobd type of all the Davbreaks (except Sunrise, which see 

 below), and well shows their profuse flowering habit. The blossoms are very double and com- 

 pact, and have always been a favorite with florists, both because of their medium-earlv flower- 

 ing and for their own peculiar beauty. My list includes all the late introductions in this class, 

 most of which have been put on the market by Vick, and to which he gives the general name of 

 Imnerlal. Price of each pkt.. 75_s eeds, 6c; 2 pkts., 10c. 



Daybreak. First in the field. Blossoms are large and full, " 

 on long strong stems; color a light, sea-shell pink. 



Lavender Daybreak. identical with Daybreak in form 

 and habit, but in color a delicate lavender. 



Pink Beauty. Dreer's improved Daybreak; delicate blush pink. 

 Purity. Pure white; splendid for bouquets or design work. 

 Salmon Daybreak. A beautiful new shade of salmon 

 pink, a handBome Aster. 



Vick's Sunrise. A seedling from 

 Daybreak, unique in form and habit. 

 The petals are closely quilled, and of a 

 most delicate pink shade. Sunrise has 

 won many prizes at floral exhibitions, 

 and is pronounced a most desirable 

 variety. 



VIck'S Sunset. An exceedingly 

 beautiful shade of light pink, shad- 

 ing to a darker pink in the center. 

 Greatlv admired. 



IMPERIAL DAYBREAK MIXED 



The above seven sorts mixed, to- 

 gether with scarlet, crimson and dark 

 blue shades of Victoria, to make a well- 

 balanced mixture. A chance to try all the above new Asters. Pkt., 100 seeds, 6c; 2 pkts., lOo. 

 Daybreak Collection* 8 pkts., v-i pkt. of each of the 8 sorts, for 25c. .
