Dreer's "Peerless Pinx" Aster 



Dreer's Superb Late-Branching 

 Asters 



This grand strain is of American origin, and is especially 

 adapted to our climatic conditions. 



The plants form strong, branching bushes 2 to 2j feet high, 

 bearing on long, strong stems flowers which, under ordinary 

 cultivation, average 5 inches across. They are usually at their 

 best during September, and, all things considered, are the most 

 valuable of all Asters, either for cutting or for bedding, and if 

 only one kind of Aster is grown this is the type which will 

 likely give the best results.
