Dreer's Famous American Asters 



I^AYENDER 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, con- 

 tinuing through August; a lovely variety for cutting. 

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



Dreer's "Peerless Pink" Aster 



1393 This is conceded to be the finest pink late-branch- 

 ing Aster ever offered. The plants are of robust, 

 free-branching habit, and it is hard to find a 

 flower under four inches across, and many meas- 

 ure 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 September. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



Dreer's " Pink Beauty " Aster 



1396 This was introduced by us, and is a magnificent variety 

 of strong, free, upright growth, 24 to 30 inches high, 

 blooming from early in August until well on in Septem- 

 ber, with frequently as many as 50 flowers open at one 

 time on long, strong stems, and averaging 4 inches 

 across, of chrysanthemum shape, the inner petals in- 

 curved, outer reflexed; color a soft, delicate blush pink, a shade that 

 is always in demand for cutting. 15 cts. per pk^.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



Dreer's Late-Branching 

 Aster 



DREER'S SUPERB 



EATE-BRANCHITSG ASTERS 



This grand strain is of American origin, and is especially 

 adapted to our climatic conditions. 



The plants form strong, branching bushes 2 to 2| feet high, 

 bearing on long, strong stems flowers 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.
