VAUGHAN'S SEED STORE, CHICAGO AND NEW YORK, BOOK FOR FLORISTS. 



Vegetable Seeds for the Professional Gardener 



The market gardener and florist demand high class seeds — their livelihood depends upon the quality of those which they plant. The 

 »2;;-to-date planter realizes that "the best seeds are always the cheapest," so each year as gardening becomes more a profession and less 

 of an occupation, the cry for "improved seeds" without regard to prices becomes stronger and stronger. 



Vaughan's Seeds are from the best growers we have been able to locate during our thirty-six years experience in the seed business. 

 Cost has never been a consideration with Vaughan's Seed Store when better quality might be had. We believe and all of our trials 

 prove that our stocks average with those of any firm in the seed business. 



And finally we can truthfully say that each year there is and will be a betterment in the seeds we offer not only because cf new varie- 

 ties, which are good in their way, but what we think more important, improved selections of standard sorts. 



Growth. Every lot of seed is tested and of proven vitality before being sent out or sold. 



ASPARAGUS 



BONVALLET'S GIANT.

It is acclimated to our soil; it is more vigorous than imported French; and 

 undoubtedly is the best commercial variety on the market. 



The shoots are as large as any we have ever seen, they are purplish in color, 

 or when planted deep produce the very finest of all white asparagus. Owing to 

 the excellent quality, sweetness, tenderness and beautiful appearance, this is a 

 highly favored sort. The seed is grown by the originator.
