IMPERIAL DAYBREAK ASTER 



These alters were introduced by ^ ick and arc 

 improved successors to the long popular and well- 

 known Victoria or Washington Asters. The blos- 

 soms 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 bou- 

 quets or design work. Great bloomer. 



Sheli-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, especially if you 

 grow commercially, as the earliest blooms always 

 bring the best prices. It comes frpm 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 Chrysanthmums. One of my customers said 

 these were among her larcest and finest asters.

 WHITE PERFECTION ASTER 



Best Mid-season White Aster. Vick places 

 this as the finest mid-season White .\ster 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 earliest variety. Large, elegant 

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

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