Dreer's Famous 



American Asters ® 



Your success with Asters depends primarily upon the kind of 

 seed you sow. Dreer's American Asters are justly famous as 

 they represent the finest, most carefully selected strains of these 

 beautiful annual flowers. Thorough soil preparation and an 

 open, sunny situation are needed to grow Asters to perfection. 



Asters prefer a good heavy loam soil enriched with a liberal 

 quantity of bone meal, wood ashes, and a little air-slaked lime. 

 We have received some very favorable comments from our 

 customers who with the aid of Astogen (offered on page 213) 

 have succeeded in raising a perfect crop of flowers. 



Beauty Asters 



This is one of the finest American Asters, coming 

 into bloom late in September and lasting way into 

 October. Often the plants produce their finest flowers 

 after we have had some light frost. The plants grow 

 nearly 3 feet high. They are vigorous and strong 

 branching, bearing very large round blooms which are 

 completely double to the very center. The outer 

 petals reflex and the center ones curve gracefully 

 inward. A magnificent Aster for both garden display 

 and for cutting.

New Super Giant Aster 



1473 Los Angeles 



This is the first of a new super giant race. 

 It is a truly gorgeous flower — beautiful in form 

 and excellent in color. The blooms are full 

 petaled, very deep, unusually large yet artis- 

 tically graceful in their feathery effect and in 

 the interlacing of their narrow slender petals. 

 The color is an enchanting shade of pure shell 

 pink. Of robust growth and very free blooming. 

 I'kt. 25c; special pkt. 75c.
