HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA., WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 5 



Dreer's Famous American Asters 



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. 



BO cts. per trade pkt.; $2.50 per qz. 



Oreer's "Pink Beauty" Aster. 



A magnificent cut-flower variety, in bloom from early 

 August until well on in September; 24 to 30 inches high;

 Color a delicate blush pink, and pronounced by experts to 

 be the finest pink midseason sort yet introduced. BO cts. 

 per trade pkt.; 12.50 per oz.

 very double flowers, averaging 3)4 inches across, are borne freely 

 on stems a foot long from early in August till the close of Septem- 

 ber. The intense color shows up well when cut, and makes a very
