Dreei's Superb Late Branching Asters 



The finest Asters for late August and September blooming. 



The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2% leei 

 high, bearing on long strong stems their handsome Chrysan- 

 themum-like flowers, which, under ordinary cultivation, aver- 

 age 5 inches across. The form of the flowers, together with 

 the length of the stems, places them at the head of Asters 

 for cutting. They come into bloom from two to three ^«*ks 

 after the average type, usually being at their best during 

 September. We offer eight beautiful and distinct colors, vis.:

^y-jPl'^^^^^^C^^^^H^^^^^^^^Br This grand Aster may be briefly described as a glorified 



late branching shell-pink or Mary Semple. It has the same 



strong, sturdy habit of growth; comes into bloom a little 



earlier, bears freely almost globular flowers rarely under 



' 4 inches across and frequently over 5 inchps. The color Is 



rich shell-pink, similar in shade but more decided than

finely finished flower, and stands cut longer than any other. 

 50 cents per trade packet; $2.60 per ounce. 



New Red Aster, "Sensation" 



This Is the reddest of all Red Asters, the color being a rich 

 garnet or ox blood red which glistens in the sunshine like a 

 live coal. The plants are of free-branching habit, about 18 

 inches high; the very double flowers, averaging 8H Inches 

 across, are borne freely on stems a foot long from early In 

 August till the close of September. The intense color shows 

 up well when cut, and makes a very brilliant bit of color in 

 a bed or border. 60 cents per trade packet; $2.50 per ounce.
