2 HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA., WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 
DREER’S SUPERB ASTERS 
We take special pains to secure only the choicest Asters, and nothing better in quality can be had at any price; beware of low-priced 
stock, it is liable to be low grade at the same time. 
For early flowering, Queen of the Market is used almost exclusively, although the earliest of all is Early Wonder. 
Lavender Gem are also early and very desirable. 
White Fleece and 
Our Superb Late Branching is in most demand for late, while for mid-season Crego’s 
Giant, Pink Beauty, Ostrich Feather, Pzony Perfection, are all equally desirable. 
AMERICAN GROWN ASTERS 
The varieties offered on this page are all American grown and stand at the head of Asters for the American climate. 
The stocks have all been grown under our own supervision, and we know that the quality in every case is as fine as can be 
had at any price and much superior to what can be procured from most sources 
CREGO’S GIANT COMET ASTER 
Dreer’s New Aster ‘‘ Peerless Pink’’ 
This grand new Aster may briefly be described as a glorified late 
branching shell-pink or Mary Semple. It has the same strong, sturdy 
habit of growth; comes into bloom a little earlier, bears freely almost 
globular flowers rarely under 4 inches across and frequently over 
5 inches. The color is rich shell-pink, similar in shade but more 
decided than the late branching. The centre petals are prettily 
incurved while the wide outer petals reflex making a most artistic 
and finely finished flower. 50 cts. per trade packet; $4.00 per oz. 
Dreer’s New Aster ‘‘Pink Beauty.’’ 
A magnificent cut-flower variety, in bloom from early August until 
well on in September; 24 to 30 inches high; flowers average 4 inches 
across, on long, strong stems. Color a delicate blush pink, and pro- 
nounced by experts to be the finest pink midseason sort yet intro- 
duced. 50 cts. per trade packet; $4.00 per oz. 
Dreer’s New Late Aster ‘‘Crimson King.’’ 
A superb new late-branching variety, with perfectly double flowers 
of rich, rosy crimson, full of fire. Fine for cutting, showing up well 
under artificial light. 40 cts. per trade packet; $2.50 per oz? 
Crego’s Giant Comet Asters. 
Magnificent fluffy flowers, averaging over 5 inches across, with 
long strong stems; the finest of thistype. Comes into bloom in August, 
continuing well into September, and, unlike most of the Comet sorts, 
stands when cut and is a good flower to ship. We offer two colors, 
our own saving, of the highest quality.

DREER’S SUPERB LATE BRANCHING ASTER 
Dreer’s Superb Late Branching 
The finest Aster for late August and September blooming. 
The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2% feet high, bearing 
on long, strong stems their handsome Chysanthemum-like flowers, 
which, under ordinary cultivation average 5 inches across. The form 
of the flowers, together with the length of the stems, places them 
at the head of Asters for cutting. They come into bloom from twoto 
three weeks after the average type, usually being at their best during 
September, and filling in the gap between the general run of Asteis 
and Chrysanthemums. We offer eight beautiful and distinct colors,
