2 HENRY A . DREER. PHILADELPHIA. PA.. WHOLESALE PRICE LIST

DREER'5 SUPERB ASTERSWe take special pains to secure only the choicest Asters, and nothing better in quality can be had at any price; beware of low-priced

stock, it is liable to be low grade at the same lime.For early flowering. Queen of the Market is used almost exclusively, although the earliest of all is Early Wonder. White Fleece and

Lavender Gem are also early and very desirable. Our Superb Late Branching is in most demand for late, while for mid-season Crego'sGiant, Pink Beauty, Ostrich Feather, Paeony Perfection, are all equally desirable.

AMERICAN GROWN ASTERSThe varieties offered on this page are all American grown and stand at the head of .Asters for the American climate.The stocks have all been grown under our own supervision, and we know that the quality in every case is as fine as can be

had at any price and much superior to what can be procured from most sources

crego's giant comet aster DREER' S SUPERB LATE BRANCHING ASTER

Dreer's New Aster " Peerless Pink"This grand new Aster may briefly be described as a glorified late

branching shell-pink or Mary Semple. It has the same strong, sturdyhabit of growth ; comes into bloom a little earlier, bears freely almostglobular flowers rarely under 4 inches across and frequently over5 inches. The color is rich shell-pink, similar in shade but moredecided than the late branching. The centre petals are prettily

incurved while the wide outer petals reflex making a most artistic

and finely finished flower. 50 cts. per trade packet;$4.00 per oz.

Dreer's New 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 inchesacross, on long, strong stems. Color a delicate blush pink, and pro-nounced by experts to be the finest pink midseason sort yet intro-

duced. 50 cts. per trade packet; $4.00 per oz.

Dreer's New Late Aster "Crimson King."A superb new late-branching variety, with perfectly double flowers

of rich, rosy crimson, full of fire. Fine for cutting, showing up wellunder artificial light. 40 cts. per trade packet

; $2.50 per ozj

Crego's Oiant Comet Asters.Magnificent fluffy flowers, averaging over 5 inches across, with

long strong stems; the finest of this type. Comes into bloom in August,continuing well into September, and, unlike most of the Comet sorts,

stands when cut and is a good flower to ship. We offer two colors,

our own saving, of the highest quality.

Tr. pkt. Oz.Shell-pink 40 $2 00Snow-white 4° 2 00

Early Wonder AstersThis is the earliest Aster in cultivation, being in full bloom when

Queen of the Market is only in bud, frequently coming into bloom in

late June. Flowers larger than Queen of the Market, borne on long,strong stems. Very valuable for cutting.

Tr. pkt. Oz.Early Wonder White. Pure glistening white .... 40 J2 00Early Wonder Pink. A good, clear pmk 40 > 00

Dreer's Superb Late BranchingThe finest Aster for late August and September blooming.The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2H feet high, bearing

on long, strong stems their handsome Chysanthemum-like flowers,which, under ordinary cultivation average .s inches across. The formof the flowers, together with the length of the stems, places themat the head of Asters for cutting. They come into bloom from two tothree weeks after the average type, usually being at their best duringSeptember, and filling in the gap between the general run of Asteisand Chrysanthemums. We offer eight beautiful and distinct colors,viz.

Azure blue. A rich deep lavender .

Pure White. Extra fine stock . . .

Shell Pink. An exquisite shadeRose Pink. A very desirable color .

NEPHROLEPIS SCHOLZELI

FINE FERNS—Varieties of Special MeritNephrolepis 5choIzeIi.

( The Crested Scottii.)

This variety has met with great favor and has made a permanentplace for itself. It is the ideal crested Fern, holding the same positionto all other crested varieties that Scottii holds to the old Boston. It is

a sport from Scottii, possessing all the merits of that most popular vari-ety, but with the pinnas sub-divided, giving it a neat crested appear-ance. The fronds, like in Scottii, stand erect, with a graceful archforming a plant of ideal shape, and they never break down, giving theplant a ragged appearance as is so often the case with all other crestedforms ; furthermore, the loose, elegant arrangement of the fronds, allow-ing a free circulation of air, prevents the centre of even the largestspecimen from becoming defective or yellow, which is one of theweak points of all of its predecessors.

(Introduction of 1908.)

Nephrolepis Qiatrasii.

This variety introduced last fall in a very limited way, has proven tobe a gem, especially where a perfect specimen is required in a smallsize. It will develop beautifully in a three, four or five-inch pot,making an ideal plant for many purposes where the other varieties ofNephrolepis are too coarse

; grown in a 2^-inch pot it will prove valu-able for Fern-dish work. While it is a direct sport from the BostonFern, to call it a miniature form of Scottii will convey a better idea ofits appearance. 25^-inch pots, $2.00 per doz.; $12.00 per 100

DREER'S SELECT ROSESThe Roses which we here offer are, with few exceptions, field grown stock either American grown or plants that have

been imported from England and Ireland.

These plants are all potted up during December and January, stored in cold houses, so that they break away naturally

in spring, making this the best possible stock for selling to the retail customer.

The prices noted are for strong plants in 5 and 6-inch pots (according to the growth of the variety) for delivery during

April and May, and while we will make shipments earlier if requested, we prefer to book orders for these months only.

Two New Forcing RosesDouble Pink Killarney

This new variety originated with Messis. Robert Scott & Son, ofPhiladelphia, as a sport from a white flowering Killarney which origi-nated with them some four years since which, however, on account ofbeing less double than the Waban stiain of White Killarney was neverput on the market, how ever a stock of some seventeen hundred plantswas grown for cut flowers, and one of these plants spotted back topink, however, not the same form as Killarney, it is several shadesli).:hter in color but of much stronger growth and more double flowers,these containing from 10 to 12 more petals, and of larger size thanKillarney.Price for Plants ready in March.

Yellow Forcing Rose "Melody."Melody is the freest flowering winter forcing Rose yet introduced,

and is a pedigree seeding raised by Alex. Dickson & Sons, to whomwe are indebted for Killarney, Liberty, Mrs. Jardine, and many otherfine varieties. Unlike other forcing varieties, the growth of Melody is

strong and willowy with rich glossy foliage. The flowers are of per-fect form, of a beautiful yellow shading to a deep apricot yellowtowards the centre. Messrs. Robert Scott & Son, of Philadelphia,have had this variety on trial during the past season, and say of it

:

"This splendid yellow Rose" will be particularly valuable to the Floristfrom the fact that it produces such quantities of bloom in winter,when other varieties are apt to be shy. With us it is as free in winteras My Maryland is in summer. From one two-year old plant duringDecember 26 flowers were cut and from the same plant, on the nextcrop 27 flowers. Melody is offered only in own root plants as it suc-ceeds better in that shape.2^-inch pot plants ready in March. $6,00 per dozen

HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS.For some years past we have been handling Hardy Perennials as one of our leading specialties, and our stock at the present time is

unquestionably the most complete both in variety and quantity in the country.Many planters not thoroughly familiar with this class of plants have an idea that nothing but a large, field-grown clump will give satis-

factory returns the first season. This, as experience has taught us, is in most instances, a mistake. A vigorous plant of proper size will,in nearly every case, give quicker and better returns than the best so-called " field clumps " that can be procured. It will be noticed that themajority of the stock offered in this list is described as being 3, 4 or 5-inch pots. This does not necessarily mean that the plants have beenaltogether pot-grown, but that they have been field-grown and dug and potted up during the Fall and early Winter months, and such stockcan De planted, even late in the Spring, with practically no loss, which, in the case of clumps, is often quite serious.
