DREER'S FAMOUS AMERICAN ASTERS 



Early Branching or Royal Aster 



Early Branching or Royal Asters 



A recently developed type that 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 for a long 

 time. The habit of the plants and their free-flowering make them 

 very desirable for beds or borders, while their long-stemmed 

 flowers are ideal for cutting. The form of the flower is well shown 

 in the illustration. We offer six beautiful and distinct colors,

 an even growth and a mass of flowers are wanted for effect; the 

 sturdy upright plants, 12 to 14 inches high, carry not less than 

 50 flowers each, producing a mass of color unequalled by any 

 other; blooms from early August till late October. (See cut.)

I.MPROVED Victoria Aster 



Red Aster "Sensation" 



1442 This is the reddest of all Red Asters, the color being a rich 

 garnet or ox-blood red, which glistens in the sunshine like a 

 live coal. The plants are of free-branching habit, about 18 

 inches high; the very double flowers, averaging 31 inches 

 across, are borne freely on stems a foot long from early in 

 August till the close of September. The intense color shows 

 up well when cut, and makes a very brilliant bit of color in 

 a bed or border. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
