 type, with large, artistic, loosely-arranged Howes on 

 long, wiry stems and of the most charming shade of 

 lavender imaginable. Begins bloomi lg in July, con-

MIKADO ASTERS. 



A Comet variety, very similar to the Crego's Gianl 

 offered on page 67, but dwarfer in growth and comes 

 into bloom fully two weeks earlier. The plants attain 

 a height of about 18 inches, of branching habit, and 

 the flowers, borne on long, strong stems, are of 

 colossal size, flowers five and six inches across being 

 the rule. (See illustration on page 68.) We offer 

 two colors, viz. : 



1357 Mikado Pink or Rochester. A charm- 

 ing shade of pink suffused with lavender. A 

 color which shows to great advantage under 

 artificial light. 



1358 Mikado White. Of purest glistening white; 

 a magnificent and artistic flower. 



Price. Either of the above, 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 

 25 cts. 



Dreer's "Peerless Pink" Aster. 



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

 Aster ever offereJ. Tne plants are of robust, free- 

 branching habit, and it is hard to find a flower under 

 four incnes 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 ab^ut the middle of August, being at its best 

 during the early part of September. (See cut.) 15 

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

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

 from early in August until well on in September, with fre- 

 quently as many as 50 flowers open at one time on 

 long, strong stems, and averaging 4 inches across, of 

 chrysanthemum shape, the inner petals incurved, outer 

 reflexed; color a soft, delicate blush-pink, a shade that 

 is always in demand for cutting. This has been pro- 

 nounced by experts to be the finest pink mid-season 

 Aster yet introduced. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



OSTRICH FEATHER ASTERS. 



This magnificent Aster produces flowers of immense size, 

 made up of long, loosely formed petals. Blooms in August. 

 When used for cutting, the flowers should be picked when 

 about half expanded and allowed to develop in water in a 

 cool room.
