DREER'S FAMOUS AMERICAN ASTERS 



Lavender 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, contin- 

 uing through August; a lovely variety for cutting. 15 

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



Dreer's "Peerless Pink" Aster 



1393 This is conceded to be the linest 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 measure five 

 inches by two and a half in depth, forming an 

 almost globular flower. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 

 25 cts. 



Dreer's "Pink Beauty" Aster 



1396 A magnificent variety, 24 to 30 inches high, 

 blooming from early in August until well on in 

 September, flowers 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. (Illus- 

 trated on page 70.) 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



Queen of the Market Asters 



A first-class early flowering Aster, coming into flower in July, 

 of branching habit; flowers of good size and borne on long stems, 

 making them exceedingly valuable for cutting; 1 foot. 



Dreer's Late-Branching 

 Aster 



Dreer's Superb Late-Branching 

 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.

 expanded and allowed to develop in water in a cool room. Illus-
