 much superior to what can be procured 

 from most sources. 



Dreer's "Peerless Pink" Aster. 



This (irand Aster may briefly be described as a 

 glorified late branchinu shell-pink or Mary Sem-

 (rrowth; 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 pet- 

 als are prettily incurved while the wide outer 

 petals reflex making a most artistic and finely 

 finished flower and stands cut longer than any 

 other. 50 cts. per trade packet; $2.50 per oz. 



Dreer's "Pink Beauty" Aster. 



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 pronounced by experts to 

 be the finest pink midseason sort yet introduced. 50 cts. per 

 trade pkt; $4.00 per oz. 



Crego's Giant Comet Asters. 



Magnificent fluffy flowers, averaging over 5 inches across, with 

 long strong stems; the finest of this type. Comes into bloom in 

 August, continuing well into September, and, unlike most of the
