FROM VICK’S FLORAL GUIDE, 1872 
“The Aster is a universal favorite, and has steadily increased in popu- 
larity for half a century. The quality of the flower has also kept pace 
with its increasing popularity, until it has become almost as large as a 
Paeony and as perfectly double as the best Chrysanthemum or Dahlia. 
Perhaps | can safely say that for an autumn display it has no successful 
rival among the annuals. In England, Holland, and Germany, last 
season, | saw it in almost every cottage and palace garden, while it 
served to illume the sad battlefields of France.”’
