HART & VICK’S FAMOUS ASTERS 
In so far as possible we offer you only Wilt-Resistant Seed. This will 
make more robust and thrifty plants, far less susceptible to disease than 
the ordinary Aster Seed. 
Plant your Asters in new rich soil and keep them well cultivated. Grow 
them in beds and borders to produce a mass effect and set them 1 foot 
apart each away; if you want extra-long stems for cutting, they should have 
18 inches of room. Good seed produces the best flowers. Our seed is grown 
for us by men who have made a lifetime study of Aster-seed growing. 
Heart of France Asters 
The best pure red Aster ever introduced. 
Heart of France opens red as the purest 
ruby, deepens with age, and retains its re- 
markable beauty to the very end. The 
plant begins to bloom quite early in the 
season and opens fully with the midseason 
varieties. Pkg. 15c; Vg oz. 45c 
Rochestcr Asters 
These are the giant Asters with

of our hobbies. We know this seed of ours

This superb class of Asters still holds 
its popularity despite the introduction 
of many later novelties. The blooms are 
borne on long stems, making them ex- 
tremely valuable for cutting. The plants 
frequently cover a space of 3 feet, and 
should be allowed ample room to de- 
velop to full size. Seed sown in pots or 
boxes in March or April and trans- 
planted to outdoor beds in May or June 
will provide bloom in August and Sep- 
tember. Wilt-resistant.
