iumph Comet Asters are between extra earlyand the Early-Branching varieties, or about thesame season as Vicks Royals. Splendid Mikadoor Rochester flowers of the best type, on tall,upright plants. A great improvement over anyUpright Comet heretofore offered, in size ofplant, length of stem, and in size and perfectionof flower. In comparing Vicks Triumph Comet Asterwith the so-called Astermums as they were grownon our farms, under as favorable conditions asour Asters ever received, we found that theplants of Vicks Triumph Comet Asters weretaller, the stems longer and the flowers muchlarger and more double than those of the Aster-mum. We are convinced that in regard to bothsize and quality, Vicks Triumph Comet Astersare at least four or five years ahead of the so-called Astermum. As a large part of our cropwas destroyed by floods we have only a smallquantity of seed this year. White, Shell Pink, Lavender Pink, Lavender, Roseand Purple. Prices: per packet, each 15 cents; two for 25 cents.
