Dreer's Famous 



We offer seed of the finest, most carefully selected strains 

 which will produce extra-large and weU-developed blooms of 

 choicest quality. Asters require thorough preparation of the 

 soil which should be enriched with bone meal, wood ashes, and 

 a little air-slaked lime. Varieties marked W-R represent the 

 new wilt-resistant strains.
