Dreer's Famous American Asters 



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 Au- 

 gust, 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 on page 66. We offer 

 beautiful and distinct colors.

NEW 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 3£ inches across, are 

 borne freely on stems a foot long from early in August till the close of Sep- 

 tember. The intense color shows up well when cut, and makes a very bril- 

 liant bit of color in a bed or border. 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



Improved American Victoria Asters 



This is by far the finest of all Asters for bed or borders where an even growth 

 and a mass of flowers are wanted for effect; the sturdy upright plants, 12 to 15 

 inches high, carry not less than 50 flowers each, producing a mass of color un- 

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