Dreer's Famous American Asters 



KoYAL Aster 



ROYAL ASTERS 



A recently developed type that might briefly be described as 

 an early flowering form of our Superb Late Branching variety, 

 having all the good qualities of the latter, but coming into 

 bloom in July or early August, and lasting in perfect condition 

 for a long time. The habit of the plants and their free-flower- 

 ing make them very desirable for beds or borders, while their 

 long-stemmed flowers are ideal for cutting. The form of the 

 flower is well shown in the illustration. We offer six beautiful 

 and distinct colors. per pkt.

Improved American Victoria Asters 



This is by far the finest of all Asters for beds or borders where 

 an even growth and a mass of flowers are wanted for effect; the 

 sturdy upright plants, 12 to 14 inches high, carry not less than 

 50 flowers each, producing a mass of color unequalled by any 

 other; blooms from early August till late October. (See cut.)

NEW RED ASTER "SENSATION" 



1442 This is the reddest of all Red Asters, the color being a 

 rich garnet or ox-blood red, which glistens in the sun- 

 shine like a live coal. The plants are of free-branch- 

 ing habit, about 18 inches high; the very double flow- 

 ers, averaging 3^ inches across, are borne freely on 

 stems a foot long from early in August till the close 

 of September. The intense color shows up well when 

 cut, and makes a very brilliant bit of color in a bed or 

 border. 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkgs. , 25 cts.
