While we offer this season over sixty distinct varieties and 
colors of American Asters, all of which have been grown 
under our personal supervision, and which cannot be excelled 
for quality, we have again selected the following six sorts to 
offer as a collection, which embraces several distinct types 
and colors, which we feel sure will, on account of their free 
growth, profuse flowering, large size and general excellence, 
give entire satisfaction to the most critical growers of this 
popular flower. 
1281 Crego’s Giant White. We consider this 
the finest and largest of all Comet Asters, 
bearing immense fluffy flowers 5 inches and 
over in diameter, as fine as any Chrysanthe- 
mum, and when cut keep in good condition 
longer than any other of this type. 15 cts. per 
pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 
1282 Crego’s Giant Pink. Identical in every 
way to the white offered and described above, 
except in color, which is a beautiful soft shell- 
pink. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 
1305 Dreer’s Crimson Giant. A late-branch- 
ing variety of upright growth, with extra large, 
densely double flowers of rich blood-crimson; 
makes a brilliant bed or border, and is splendid 
for cutting. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.

DREER'S PEERLESS PINK ASTER 
1393 Dreer’s Peerless Pink. This is conceded to be the finest pink 
late-branching Aster ever offered. The plants are of robust free- 
branching habit, 24 to 30 inches high, bearing their magnificent 
blooms on strong stems, averaging 18 inches in length, and it is 
hard to find a flower under 4 inches across, and many measure 5 
inches by 2} inches in depth, forming an almost globular flower. 
The color is a rich shell-pink, and comes into bloom about 
the middle of August, being its best during the early part 
of September, and continuing in good condition well into 
October. (See cut.) 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. 25 cts. 
1346 Rose King. A very distinct and desirable sort, with 
large, handsome double-quilled flowers of a brilliant rose 
color. A great favorite for cutting with commercial florists, 
lasting in perfect condition for a long time. 15 cts. per 
pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 
1347 Violet King. Similar in habit and time of flowering to 
our superb late-branching sorts, and of the same strong, 
free-branching growth, with very double, slightly quilled 
flowers of a pleasing soft shade of violet. 15 cts. per pkt.; 
2 pkts., 25 cts.
