Dreer’s “Peerless Pink” Aster 
1393 This is conceded to be the finest pink late-branching 
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. The color is a rich shell pink and comes into 
bloom about the middle of August, being at its best 
during the early part of September. 15 cts. per pkt.; 
2 pkts., 25 cts. 
Dreer’s 
“Pink Beauty” Aster 
1396 This was introduced by us in 1908, and isa 
magnificent variety of strong, free, upright 
growth, 24 to 30 inches high, blooming 
from early in August until well on in Sep- 
tember, with frequently as many as 50 flowers 
open at one time on long, strong stems, and 
averaging 4 inches across, of chrysanthemum 
shape, the inner petals incurved, outer re- 
flexed; color a soft, delicate blush pink, a 
shade that is always in demand for cutting. 
This has been pronounced by experts to be 
the finest pink mid-season Aster yet intro- 
duced. 15 cts. per pkts; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
