2 HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA, PA., WHOLESALE PRICE LIST 
DREER’S SUPERB ASTERS 
We take special pains to secure only the choicest Asters, and nothing better in quality can be had at any price. Beware of low-priced 
stock, it is liable to be low grade at the same time. 
For early flowering, Queen of the Market is used almost exclusively, although the earliest of all is Early Wonder. White Fleece’and 
Lavender Gem are also early and very desirable. Our Superb Late Branching is in most demand for late, while for mid-season Crego’s 
Giant, Pink Beauty, Ostrich Feather, Peony Perfection, are all equally desirable. 
AMERICAN GROWN ASTERS 
The varieties offered on this page are all American grown and stand at the head of Asters for the American climate. 
The stocks have all been grown under our own supervision, and we know that the quality in every case is as fine as can be had at 
any price and much superior to what can be procured from most sources. 
CREGO’S GIANT COMET ASTER 
Dreer’s New Aster ‘‘Peerless Pink.’’ 
This grand new Aster may briefly be 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. 50 cts. per trade packet; 
$4.00 per oz. 
Electric White Aster. 
A most distinct and distinguished looking flower, being made up 
of long thread like quilled petals of snowy whiteness, borne on 
long, strong wiry stems, and rarely under 5 inches across. 50 cts. 
per trade pkt.; $2.50 per oz. 
Dreer’s New Aster ‘‘Pink Beauty.”’ 
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, 
and pronounced by experts to be the finest pink midseason sort yet 
introduced. 50 cts. per trade pkt; $4.00 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 two colors, our own saving, of the highest quality.

A superb new late-branching variety, with perfect double flowers 
of rich, rosy crimson, full of fire. Fine for cutting, showing up 
well under artificial light. 40 cts. per trade pkt; $2.00 per oz. 
Dreer’s Superb Late Branching Asters. 
The finest Asters for late August and September blooming. 
The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2-to 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:
