Dreer's Superb Late Branching Asters. 



The finest Asters for late August and September blooming. 



The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2} 2 feet high- 

 bearing on long strong stems their handsome Chrysanthemum, 

 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 be- 

 tween the general run of Asters and Chrysanthemums. We offer 

 eight beautiful and distinct colors, viz. 



Azure Blue. A rich deep lavender 

 Pure White. Extra fine stock 

 Shell Pink. An exquisite shade 

 Rose Pink. A very desirable color 

 Deep Rose. Rich and brilliant 

 Deep Purple. Royal deep blue 

 Lavender. A pale grayish-lavender 

 Crimson. Very rich ... 

 Finest Mixed. All the colors 



Dreer's "Peerless Pink" Aster. 



This grand Aster may be briefly 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 and stands cut longer than any 

 other. 50 cts. per trade pkt.; $2.50 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 

 Comet sorts, stands when cut and is a good flower to ship. We 

 offer three colors, our own saving, of the highest quality.

DREER'S PEERLESS PINK ASTER 



Astermums. 



This strain of Giant Comet Asters were first exhibited at the 

 Florist's 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 originator 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.

We offer in our Wholesale Catalogue a fine line of Imported 

 Asters, from the most reliable sources. The two sorts offered

Early Wonder Asters. 



This is the earliest Aster in cultivation, being in full bloom when 

 Queen of the Market is only in bud, frequently coming into bloom in 

 late June. Flowers larger than Queen of the Market, borne on long, 

 strong stems. Very valuable for cutting.
