I.ATE-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 2J 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.

Dreer's " Peerless Pink" Aster 



1393 This is conceded to be the finest 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 meas- 

 ure five inches by two and a halt in depth, forming 

 an almost globular flower. The color is a rich 

 shell pink and comes into bloom about the niddle 

 of August, being at its best during the early pait 

 of September. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 ct;. 



Dreer's " Pink Beauty" Aster 



1396 This was introduced by us in 1908, and is a mag- 

 nificent variety of strong, free,, upright growth, 

 24 to 30 inches high, blooming from early in Au- 

 gust until well on in September, 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 reflexed; 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 introduced. 15 

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