VICK’S MIKADO ASTERS (Novelty). An entirely 
new class of branching Asters, growing from 
16 inches to 2 feet high, and bearing immense 
curled and twisted flowers on long, stiff stems, 
resembling, at a distance, huge ragged Japanese 
Chrysanthemums. A peculiarity of this variety 
is shown when the flowers first open, at which 
time they are nearly white; as they become 
older, the white gradually disappears, giving 
place to a solid color. See cut.$0 25 
ASTER, GIANT COMET “RUBY”. The Giant 
Comet Aster “Ruby,” a true gem under the class 
of Comet Asters, will be very favorably received 
by all growers of cut flowers. The finely curled 
flowers, resembling a Chrysanthemum, are raised 
upon long stems, and open in a glowing scarlet 
turning at the close of the period of flowering 
into dark scarlet. 25
