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 the new Early Wonder. Snowdrift and 

 Lavender Gem are also very early and very' desirable. Our Superb Late Branching is in most demand for late, while for mid-season Ostrich 

 Feather, Paeony Perfection, Victoria and Washington, are all equally desirable.

DREER S SUPERB LATE BRANCHING ASTER 



CREGO S GIANT COMET 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 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. We offer eight beautiful and distinct 

 colors, viz.
