Dreer’s Famous Asters: 4 
We offer seed of the finest, most carefully selected strains 
which will produce extra-large and well-developed blooms 
of choicest quality. Asters require thorough preparation of 
the soil which should be enriched with bone meal, wood 
ashes, and a little air-slaked lime. Varieties marked W-R 
represent the new wilt-resistant strains.
