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.” 
Branching Asters cre the most populer for the 
the garden and for cut flowers in the house
