DREER’S SUPERB LATE- 
BRANCHING ASTERS 
This grand strain is of American origin, and 
is especially adapted to our climatic conditions. 
The plants form strong, branching bushes 2 to 
23 feet high, bearing on long, strong stems flow- 
ers which, under ordinary cultivation, average 5 
inches across. They are usually at their best 
during September, and, all things considered, 
are the most valuable of all Asters, either for 
cutting or for bedding, and if only-one kind of 
Aster is grown this is the type which will likely 
give the best results.

Creco’s Grant Comer ASTER. 
EARLY WONDER ASTERS 
This is the best extra early Aster, flowering in 
early July from seeds sown in the open ground at the 
end of April, and if sown in March can be had in 
bloom before the close of June. The flowers are of 
good size, quite double, and are borne on good, long, 
stiff stems, which, added to their extremely early 
flowering, makes them of great value for cutting.

KING ASTERS 
The ‘‘ King’’ Asters form a distinct class or type, 
and have many sterling qualities to recommend them 
to levers 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 a 
very attractive flower. That we think highly of this 
type is evidenced by the fact that we include Rose 
King and Violet King in our collection of Six Famous 
American Asters, which we offer among our special- 
ties on page 54.
