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.

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.
