shown on the plate opposite, and offered be-

seem to suit our climatic conditions better 
Daybreak. Of symmetrical growth and 
habit; attains a height of 18 inches, and 
produces during August in the greatest 
profusion perfect globe-shaped double flow- 
ers, which are of a delicate pink tint. 
Lavender Gem. One of the most beautiful 
Asters. It is of true Comet type, with iarge, 
artistic, loosely-arranged flowers on long, wiry 
stems of the most charming shade of lavender 
imaginable. 
Purity. This variety is identical in every way to- 
Daybreak, being of the same symmetrical growth, 
height and free-flowering qualities; the flowers, how- 
ever, instead of being pink, are pure glistening white. 
Snowdrift. A most valuable variety, coming into flower 
in July, and, unlike many things which have only their earliness 
to recommend them, this has superb plumy snow-white flowers of 
Ostrich-feather type, borne on long, strong stems; invaluable for cutting, : 
Violet King. A new and distinct variety, similar in habit to the Late Branching type, with long, strong stems, and _per- 
fectly double flowers of a pleasing, soft shade of violet. 
White Fleece. The largest and most perfect of the Comet type we have ever seen, bearing flowers 5 inches and over 
across, formed into a plumy globe of glistening white. 
Price, any of the above, 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 
Collection of a packet each of the 6 sorts, 60 cts. 
NEW ASTER EARLY WONDER. 
We had this variety on trial in our experimental grounds last year, and have no hesitation in saying that it is one of the 
most valuable Asters yet introduced. The seed was sown right in the open ground the end of April, and it was in full 
bloom early in July. No doubt if sown indoors in March, as most Asters are, it could be had in flower before the close of 
June. The plants are of sturdy, branching habit, 15 to 18 inches high, and bear freely long petaled, perfectly double snow- 
white flowers on long, strong stems, making it invaluable for cutting. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 26 cts. 
DREER’S 
Superb Late Branching 
Asters. 
This superb strain is of American origin, and is especially 
adapted to our peculiar climatic conditions, 
The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2to 24 feet 
high, bearing on long, strong stems their handsome 
New Aster 
Earty Wonper. 
Chrysanthemum-like flowers, which, under ordinary 
cultivation, average over 6 inches across, The form 
of the flowers, together with the length of the 
stems, places them atthe head of Asters for cutting. 
They come into bloom from two to three weeks 
after the average type, usually being at their best 
during September, and filling in the gap between 
the general run of Asters and Chrysanthemums, 
They deserve a liberal space in every garden. We 
offer six beautiful and distinct colors.
