Dreer's Famous American Asters 



Dreer's "Peerless Pink" Aster. 



This grand Aster may be briefly described as a glori- 

 fied 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, mak- 

 ing a most artistic and finely finished flower, and stands cut 

 longer than any other. 50 cts. per trade pkt.; $2.50 per oz. 



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; 

 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. 60 cts. 

 per trade pkt; $2.50 per oz. «
