Dreer's Six Famous 

 American Asters 



While we offer this season over fifty select and dis- 

 tinct varieties and colors of American Asters, all of 

 which have been grown under our personal supervision, 

 and which cannot be excelled 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, pro- 

 fuse 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 im- 

 mense fluffy flowers 5 inches and over in diameter, 

 as fine as any Chrysanthemum, and when cut keep 

 in good condition longer than any other of this 

 type. 



1282 Crego's Giant Pink. Identical in every way 

 to the whit^ offered and described above, except in 

 color, which is a beautiful soft shell-pink. 



1305 Dreer's Crimson Giant. A late-branching 

 variety of upright growth with extra large, densely 

 double flowers of rich blood-crimson; makes a bril- 

 liant bed or border and is splendid for cutting.

King Asters 



1346 Rose King. A very distinct and desirable 

 sort, with large, handsome double-quilled flow- 

 ers of a brilliant rose color. A great favorite for 

 cutting with commercial florists, lasting in per- 

 fect condition for a long time. 



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 mag- 

 nificent 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 2J in depth, forming an almost gloliular 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, and continuing in good condi- 

 tion well into October. (See cut.) 



1347 Violet King. Similar in habit and time of flowering to 

 our superb late-brancbing 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. 

 1338 Collection of a packet each of Dreer's Six Famous Ameri- 

 can Asters. 65 cts.
