HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA., WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 



Dreer's Famous American Asters 



Dreer's Superb 

 Late Branching Asters 



The finest Asters for late August and September 

 blooming'. 



The plants form strong, branching- bushes, 2 to 2V2 

 feet hig-h, bearing on long, strong stems their hand- 

 some Chrysanthemum-lilve flowers, which, under ordi- 

 nary 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 Sep- 

 tember, and filling in the gap between the general run 

 of Asters and Chrysanthemums. We offer eight beau- 

 tiful and distinct colors, viz:

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 un- 

 der 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 flnely flnished flower, and stands cut longer 

 than any other. 40 cts. per trade pkt.; $2.00 

 per doz. 



Dreer's "Pink Beauty" Aster 



-i^ 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, the flnest pink midseason sort. 30 

 cts. per trade pkt.; §1.50 per oz. 



Red Aster "Sensation" 



This is the reddest of all Red Asters, the color being 

 a rich garnet or ox blood red which glistens in the 

 sunshine like a live coal. The plants are of free- 

 branching habit, about 18 inches high; the very double 

 flowers, averaging 3% inches across, are borne freely 

 on stems a foot long from early in August until the 

 close of September. The intense color shows up well 

 when cut, and makes a very brilliant bit of color in a 

 bed or border. 40 cts. per trade pkt.; $2.00 per oz.
