ASTERS 
VICK’S EARLY BRANCHING 
From midseason until frost these Asters will pro¬ 
duce a profusion of beautiful flowers. The blooms are 
very large, 3% to 4 in. across and fully double, with 
the petals somewhat incurved and massed so closely 
as to form a very attractive, globular flower. The 
plants grow 2 to 8 ft. tall and branch freely, produc¬ 
ing stems frequently 2 ft. long, which makes this class 
especially fine for cutting. Nothing could be more 
dazzling than a blaze of color such as these giant 
flowers will give. Plant them liberally this year.

CALIFORNIA GIANT DOUBLE 
We take pleasure in recommending this type as the 
best Aster on the market today. Characterized by 
the well known Crego or Ostrich Feather type of 
flower, combined with the Beauty Asters’ long, non¬ 
lateral branching stems and sturdy habit of growth, 
the California Giant Double type of Aster stands at 
the head of the list, not only for florists’ use but also 
for private gardens where quality is appreciated.

SINGLE GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
It was developed out of the Double Giants of Cal¬ 
ifornia type. The flowers are large, measuring three 
to four inches across, with stems 18 to 24 inches in 
length. The petal has a slight twist, which adds a 
piquant touch to its beauty. The white blossoms 
resemble Shasta Daisies in appearance, but their 
greater length of stem makes them more graceful and 
better adapted to florist’s use. In the garden, the 
Single Giants of California add a charming note of 
simplicity among the fuller types of Asters. We be¬ 
lieve this new, single type of Aster is destined to 
become very popular. Per pkt. 10c; 3 for 25c

Giants and the dwarf, much-branched Sunshine type, 
hence the name. Plants of this new race grow 3 feet

for cutting. The individual blooms are enormous, 4

ASTER LILLIPUT FLOWERED 
Comparing in size with the Lilliput Zinnias, these 
baby flowered asters fill a very definite place in the 
border or cutflower garden. The flowers are tiny and 
buttonlike in form, coming in profuse clusters on 
medium length stems, lending themselves very grace¬ 
fully to flower arrangement or for a colorful border 
in the garden. The colors are bright and clear cut, 
some varieties having a deeper tone at the center.

ens with age and retains its remarkable color to the 
very end. The petals appear strikingly changeable, 
showing now a glow and sheen quite unique, now a 
soft warm velvety texture. In any light, natural or 
artificial. Heart of France is startlingly beautiful and 
will command instant admiration. Pkt. 10c. 
MAMMOTH PEONY-FLOWERED 
ASTERS 
An exceptionally fine late-flowering Aster. The 
immense double blooms measure 4 to 5 inches across 
and are made up of numerous petals which fold grace¬ 
fully toward the center as in Peonies. They are almost 
round and have a grace that makes them desirable 
for gorden display and for cutting. The flowers are 
borne on stems 15 to 20 inches long. Very vigorous 
plants, branching at the base and growing 2% to 
3 feet tall.
