HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA. — FLOW ER SEEDS 



Dreer's Famous American Asters 



Dreer's "Peerless Pink" Aster. 



This grand Aster may be briefly described as a glorified late 

 branching shell-pink or Mary Semple. It has the same strong, 

 sturdy habit of growth; comes into bloom a little earlier, bears 

 freely almost globular flowers rarely under 4 inches across and 

 frequently over 5 inches. The color is rich shell-pink, similar in 

 shade but more decided than the late branching. The centre petals 

 are prettily incurved, while the wide outer petals reflex, making a 

 most artistic and finely finished flower, and stands cut longer than 

 any other. 50 cts. per trade pkt.; $2.50 per oz. 



Dreer's "Pink Beauty" Aster. 



A magnificent cut-flower variety, in bloom from early August 

 until well on in September: 24 to 30 inches high; flowers average 

 4 inches across, on long, strong stems. Color a delicate blush 

 pink, and pronounced by experts to be the finest pink midseason 

 sort yet introduced. 40 cts. per trade pkt.; $2.00 per oz. 



Queen of the iVlarket Asters. 



The most useful and dependable of the early flowering sorts, 

 blooms from early July on, of good branching habit, large flowers 

 and strong stems.
