h GRAND 
NEW ASTER 
Vick'3 Hose King Aster. 
'Vick's Rose King' 
Mate to 
Vick's Violet King 
Now we have iinotlier 
color in this class, Vick's 
Rose King, a particularly 
pleasing shade and one 
that goes well with its 
mate, Vick's Violet King. 
It is a brighter, more 
brilliant color than Rose 
Brandling. It possesses 
all of the characteristics 
of a good Aster; vigorous 
in habit, with stems fre- 
quently 2 feet in length, 
flowers large as saucers, 
crowns completely cov- 
ered, a good keeping vari- 
ety and unsurpassed for 
cutting. Petals are stiff 
and strong and do not 
show the effects of ship- 
ping until long after 
many other varieties 
would be completely 
wilted. The amateur gar- 
dener or florist who does 
not get acquainted with 
this excellent variety will 
miss a golden opportun- 
ity. — Price 30c. 
One of the most interesting introductions of recent years 
The horticultural world is in the first instance uidebted for these grand new plants to Mr. Lynch, curator of the Botanic 
Gardens at Cambridge, England. Mr. Lyncli added to the brilliant orange scarlet of the type a series of fine new colors, 
and with the further endeavours of a clever French specialist, who has taken these plants in hand, we i ave now a galaxy 
oi colors of incomparable delicacy and richness, in which an in.finity of tints, fwjm pure white through yellow, orange, sal- 
mon rose cerise and ruby red to violet are represented. The starry lightness of these beautiful flowers and their being borne 
on long and rigid stalks, renders them admirably suited to all kinds of floral decoration. 'J'hey are most easily propagated 
by seed. It is recommended to place each seed with the pointed end upwards and just peeping over the surface of the soil. 
The young plants should be kept on a moderate hot-bed and re-potted from time to time (latterly into deep pots), using a 
mixture of equal parts of good loam and sandy peat, and may be had in bloom from seed in 7 to 9 months. Exhibitcdiat 
the Temple Show, London, in 1907 and 1909, at the Paris Spring Show and the Berlin International Exliibition of tins year, 
they created everj'where the greatest sensation, all visitors being struck, not only with their intrinsic beauty, but with their 
evicient superlative value as cut flowers. They were awarded the highest distinctions at eacli exhibition. — Pkt. $1.00. 
BEAUTIFUL NEW POPPY "VIRGINIA"— This new 
large flowering single Poppy of the annual class produces 
beautiful large white flowers with fringed soft pink-edge . 
Cut flowers in vases, etc., have quite a charming effect, 
and are ff)r this purpose especially recommendable, as they 
last a very long time, especially when cut in the morning.

NEW MAMMOTH VERBENA "rose queen' — This remarkable novelty represents a de- 
gree of perfection hitherto unattained in Verbenas. Each individual flower of well-grown plants measures 1 inch to l}inch 
across, and the petals lie so close together that the corolla hardly sli av.s any indentations. Closely united in magnificent 
large umbels and resplendent in a hue of most brilliant rose, this new Verbena makes a wonderfu) effect and will be 
found a splendid bedding plant. — Pkt. SOc. 
NEW DOUBLE GIANT "P/EONY FLOWERED" 
DAHLIA SUPERB— The flowers of this grand and 
distinct Novelty are of enormous size, much resembling 
in appearance the bloom of a Double Tree Pa,'ony — 
Superb mixture. — Pkt. 2Sc.
