I^AVENDER GEM ASTER. 



1353 One of the most beautiful Asters. It is of true Comet 

 type, with large, artistic, loosely-arranged flowers on long, 

 wiry stems and of the most charming shade of lavender 

 imaginable. Begins blooming in July, continuing through 

 August; a lovely variety for cutting. 15 cts. per pkt.; 

 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



Dreer^s Peerless Pink Aster, 



1393 This is conceded to he the finest pink late-branching Aster 

 ever offered. The ]ilants are of robust, free-branching 

 habit, and it is hard to find a flower under four inches 

 across, and many measure five inches by two and a half 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 Septem- 

 ber. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
