IMPERIAL DAYBREAK ASTER 
These Asters were introduced by Vick. The 
blossoms are very double and compact, and 
always been a favorite with florists, both because 
their medium early-flowering period and for 
own peculiar beauty. The following two are the 
best known and most popular Daybreak sorts: 
Price, pkt., 100 seeds, 8c; 2 for 14c. 
Purity Daybreak. Pure white, splendid for 
bouquets or design work. Great bloomer. 
Shell-pink Daybreak. Very double, perfectly 
formed flowers of a delicate flesh pink. 
Daybreak Aster, Mixed. Above two mixed. 
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 from 2 to 4 weeks 
earlier than any other sort and is besides a hand¬ 
some flower.

PEONY-FLOWERED ASTER 
One of the handsomest sorts, with very double, 
ball-like flowers, resembling a Peony or some of the 
new Chrysanthemums. One of my customers said 
these were among her largest and finest asters.

WHITE PERFECTION ASTER 
Best Mid-season White Aster. Vick places 
this as the finest mid-season White Aster 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 seems, 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; 2 pkts., 8c.
