CREGO'S GIANT COMET ASTERS. 



Magnificent fluffy flowers, averaging over 5 inches 

 across with long strong stems, the finest of this 

 type. Comes into bloom in August, continuing 

 well into September, and unlike most of the Comet sorts, 

 stands when cut and is a good flower to ship. We offer 

 five colors, our own saving, of the highest quality.

EARLY BRANCHING OR ROYAL ASTERS. 



One of the best Asters of recent introduction, and 

 might briefly be described as an early flowering form of 

 our Superb Late-Branching variety, having all the good 

 qualities of the latter but coming into bloom in July or 

 early August and lasting in perfect condition a long time. 

 We offer six beautiful and distinct colors, viz.:

DREER'S "PEERLESS PINK'" ASTER. 



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 inches. 

 The color is rich shell-pink, similar in shade but more 

 decided than the late branching. The center petals are 

 prettily incurved, while the wide outer petals reflex, 

 making a most artistic and finely . finished flower, and 

 stands cut longer than any other.

LATE BRANCHING 



ASTERS 



DREER'S SUPERB LATE BRANCHING ASTERS. 



The finest Asters for late August and September 

 blooming. 



The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2}^ 

 feet high, bearing on long strong stems their handsome 

 Chrysanthemum-like flowers, which, under ordinary 

 cultivation, average 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 weeks after the average type, 

 usually being at their best during September, and filling 

 in the gap between the general run of Asters and 

 Chrysanthemums. We offer eight beautiful and distinct 

 colors, viz.: Tr.pkt. Oz.

KING ASTERS. 



The "King" Asters form a distinct class or type, and 

 have many sterling qualities to recommend them to 

 lovers of fine Asters. They are of strong, sturdy habit, 

 growing fully 18 inches high, and bear from August to 

 October very large double blossoms, the petals of which 

 are more or less quilled, forming very attractive flowers, 

 which have splendid keeping qualities when cut.
