Dreer's Famous American Asters 



All our Asters have been grown under our own supervision, and we know that 

 the quality in every case is unsurpassed. >*} 



Astermums. 



This strain of Giant Comet Asters were first exhibited at the 

 Florists' Convention in 1912, and their immense size and Chrysan- 

 themum-like appearance created quite a sensation. The stock we 

 offer was grown from seed procured from the Orieinalor and has 

 been, we believe, improved under our care, the colors which were 

 somewhat mixed being carefully trued up. They closely resemble 

 Crego's Giant, but come into bloom fully two weeks earlier. We 

 offer three colors.
