Dreer's Famous Asters 



® 



^* 



American Beauty 

 Asters have gor- 

 geous blooms of 

 giant size. 



All Wilt-Resistant Asters are 

 marked W-R. They have 

 proved of exceptional value 

 wherever the wilt disease had 

 made Aster growing difficult. 



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. 



American Beauty Asters 



This is one of the finest American .Asters, coming into 

 bloom late in September and lasting way into October. 

 Often the plants produce their finest flowers after we 

 have had some light frost. The plants grow nearly 3 

 feet high. They are vigorous and strong branching, 

 bearing very large round blooms which are completely 

 double to the very center. The outer petals reflex and 

 the center ones curve gracefully inward. A magnificent 

 Aster for both garden display and for cutting.
