Dreer's Famous American Asters 



EARLY WOTiDER ASTERS 



This is the best extra early Aster, flowering in 

 early July from seeds sown in the open ground at the 

 end of April, and if sown in March can be had in 

 bloom before the close of June. The flowers are of 

 good size, quite double, and are borne on good, long, 

 stiff stems, which, added to their extremely early 

 flowering, makes them of great value for cutting.

KING ASTERS 



The " King" Asters form a distinct class or type, 

 and have many sterling qualities to recommend them 

 to lovers of fine Asters. They are of strong, sturdy 

 habit, growing fully 18 inches high, and bear from 

 August to October very large double blossoms, the 

 petals of which are more or less quilled, forming a 

 very attractive flower. That we think highly of this 

 type is evidenced by the fact that we include Rose 

 King and Violet King in our collection of Six Famous 

 American Asters, which we offer among our special- 

 ties on page 32.
