The Celebrated Astermums. 



This strain of Giant Comet Asters was first exhibited 

 at the Florists' Convention in 1912, and their immense size 

 and Chrysanthemum-like appearance created quite a sensa- 

 tion. The stock we offer was grown from seed procured 

 from the originator and has been, we believe, improved 

 under our care, the colors, which were somewhat mixed. 

 beiDg carefully trued up. They closely resemble Crego's 

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

 niVi i three colors.

Dreer's Superb Late Branching Asters. 



This superb strain has long been one of our leading spe- 

 cialties, extraordinary care being given each season to the 

 selection of the very finest specimens for stock seed, result- 

 ing in a strain that is acknowledged by the leading growers 

 as unsurpassed. 



The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2\ feel 

 high, bearing oh long, strong stems their handsome Chrys- 

 anthemum-like llowers, which, under ordinary cultivation, 

 average over 5 inches across. The form of the flowers, 

 together with the length of the stems, places them at the 

 head of Asters for cutting. The}' come into bloom from two 

 to three weeks after the average type, usually being at their 

 best during .September, and rilling in the gap between the 

 general run of Asters and Chrysanthemums. We offer eight 

 beautiful and distinct colors.
