Dreer's Famous American Asters 



All our American Asters have been grown under our own supervision and we know that the (quality in 

 every case is unsurpassed. 



Astermums. 



This strain of Giant Comet Asters were first exhibited at the 

 Florist's Convention in 1912, and their immense size and Chrysan- 

 themum-like appearance created quite a sensation, The stock we 

 offer was grown from seed procured from the originator and has 

 been, we believe, improved under our care— the colors which were 

 somewhat mixed being carefully trued up. They closely resemble 

 Crego's Giant, but come into bloom fully two weeks' earlier; we 

 offer three colors.

DREER S SUPERB LATE-BRANCHING ASTKR 



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. 



Azure Blue. A rich deep lavender 25 



Pure White. Extra fine stock 25 



Shell Pink. An exquisite shade 25 



Rose Pink. A v^ery desirable color 25 



Deep Rose. Rich and brilliant 25 



Deep Purple. Royal deep blue 25 



Lavender. A pale grayish-lavender 25 



Crimson. Very rich 25 



Finest Mixed. All the colors 25 



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. 30 cts. per trade pkt.; $1.50 per oz. 



Dreer's "Peerless Pink" Aster. 



This grand Aster may be briefly 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 and stands cut longer than 

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



Dreer's 



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.; $3.00 per oz.
