DREER'S SIX FAMOUS AMERICAN ASTERS 



While we offer this season over sixty distinct varieties and 

 colors of American Asters, all of which have been grown 

 under our personal supervision, and which cannot be excelled 

 for quality, we have again selected the following six sorts to 

 offer as a collection, which embraces several distinct types 

 and colors, which we feel sure will, on account of their free 

 growth, profuse flowering, large size and general excellence, 

 give entire satisfaction to the most critical growers of this 

 popular flower. 



1281 Crego's Giant White. We consider this 

 the finest and largest of all Comet Asters, 

 bearing immense fluffy flowers 5 inches and 

 over in diameter, as fine as any Chrysanthe- 

 mum, and when cut keep in good condition 

 longer than any other of this type. 15 cts. per 

 pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



1282 Crego's Giant Pink. Identical in every 

 way to the white offered and described above, 

 except in color, which is a beautiful soft shell- 

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



1305 Dreer's Crimson Giant. A late-branch- 

 ing variety of upright growth, with extra large, 

 densely double flowers of rich blood-crimson; 

 makes a brilliant bed or border, and is splendid 

 for cutting. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.

DxEETi's Peerless Pink Aster 



1393 Dreer's Peerless Pink. This is conceded to be the finest pink 

 late-branching Aster ever offered. The plants are of robust free- 

 branching habit, 24 to 30 inches high, bearing their magnificent 

 blooms on strong stems, averaging 18 inches in length, and it is 

 hard to find a flower under 4 inches across, and many measure 5 

 inches by 2| inches in depth, forming an almost globular flower. 

 The color is a rich shell-pink, and comes into bloom about 

 the middle of August, b.;ing its best during the early part 

 of September, and continuing in good condition well into 

 October. (See cut.) 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. 25 cts. 



1346 Rose King. A very distinct and desirable sort, with 

 large, handsome double-quilled flowers of a brilliant rose 

 color. A great favorite for cutting with commercial florists, 

 lasting in perfect condition for a long time. 15 cts. per 

 pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



1347 Violet King. Similar in habit and time of flowering to 

 our superb late-branching sorts, and of the same strong, 

 free-branching growth, with very double, slightly quilled 

 flowers of a pleasing soft shade of violet. 15 cts. per pkt.; 

 2 pkts., 25 cts.
