which have been grown under our personal supervision, 
and which cannot be excelled for quality, we have again 
selected the following six sorts to offer as a collection, 
which embraces several distinct types and colors, which 
we feel sure will, on account of their free growth, pro- 
_ fuse flowering, large size and general excellence, give 
entire satisfaction to the most critical growers of this 
popular flower. 
1281 Crego’s Giant White. We consider this the 
finest and largest of all Comet Asters, bearing im- 
mense fluffy flowers 5 inches and over in diameter, 
as fine as any Chrysanthemum, and when cut keep 
in good condition longer than any other of this’ 
type. 
1282 Crego’s Giant Pink. Identical in every way 
to the white offered and described above, except in 
color, which is a beautiful soft shell-pink. 
1305 Dreer’s Crimson Giant. A late-branching 
variety of upright growth with extra large, densely 
double flowers of rich blood-crimson; makes a bril- 
liant bed or border and is splendid for cutting. 
Kine Asters 
1346 Rose King. A very distinct and desirable 
sort, with large, handsome double-quilled flow- 
ers of abrilliant rose color. A great favorite for 
cutting with commercial florists, lasting in per- 
fect condition for a long time. 
1393 Dreer’s Peerless Pink. This is conceded 
to be the finest pink late-branching Aster ever 
offered. [Thep lants are of robust free-branching 
habit, 24 to 30 inches high, bearing their mag- 
nificent blooms on strong stems, averaging 18 
inches in length, and it is hard to find a fower 
under 4 inches across, and many measure 5 inches 
by 23 in depth, forming an almost globular flower. 
The color is a rich shell-pink, and comes into 
bloom about the middle of August, being at its best during 
the early part of September, and continuing in good condi- 
tion well into October. (See cut.) 
1347 Violet King. Similar in habit and time of flowering to 
our superb late-branching sorts, and of the same strong, free- 
branching growth, with very double, slightly quilled flowers 
of a pleasing soft shade of violet. 
Price. Any of the above, 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts.
