A Comet variety, very similar to the Crego's Gianl offered on page 67, but dwarfer in growth and comes into bloom fully two weeks earlier. The plants attain a height of about 18 inches, of branching habit, and the flowers, borne on long, strong stems, are of colossal size, flowers five and six inches across being the rule. (See illustration on page 68.) We offer two colors, viz.: 1357 Mikado Pink or Rochester. A charm- ing shade of pink suffused with lavender. A color which shows to great advantage under artificial light. 1358 Mikado White. Of purest glistening white; a magnificent and artistic flower. Price. Either of the above, 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. Dreer's "Peerless Pink" Aster. 1393 This is conceded to be the finest pink late-branching Aster ever offereJ. Tne plants are of robust, free- branching habit, and it is hard to find a flower under four incnes across, and many measure five inches by two and a half in depth, forming an almost globular flower. The color is a rich shell-pink and comes into bloom ab^ut the middle of August, being at its best during the early part of September.
