HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA.— FLOWER SEEDS 



Dreer's Famous American Asters 



All our Asters have been grown under our own supervision, and we know that 

 the quality in every case is unsurpassed. 



Astermums. 



This strain of Giant Comet Asters was first exhibited at the 

 Florists' Convention in 1912. and their immense size and Chrys- 

 anthemum-like appearance created quite a sensation. The 

 stock we offer was grown from seed procured from the origin- 

 ator and has been, we believe, improved under our care, the 

 colors which were somewhat mixed being carefully trued up. 

 They closely resemble Crego's Giant, but come into 

 bloom fully two weeks earlier. We offer three colors.
