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 ex- 

 celled 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. 



1282 Crego's Qiant Pink. Identical in every 

 way to the white offered and described above, 

 except in color, which is a beautiful soft 

 shell-pink. 



1305 Dreer's Crimson Q!ant, A late-branch- 

 ing variety of upright growth with extra large, 

 densely double flowers of rich blood-crimson; 

 makes a brilliant b»fi or border and is splen- 

 did for cutting. 



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

 large, handsome double quilled flowers of a brilliarjt 

 rose color. A great favorite for cutting with comnaer- 

 c:al florists, lasting in nerfect condition for a lonsj time 



Ckfgo's Giant 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^ 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 



ts best during the early part of September, 



and continuing in good conditio!.' well into 



October. (See cut.) 



1347 Violet King. Similar in habit and time ot 



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. 



Price. Any of the above, 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 25 cts.
