DREER'S SUPERB 

 LATE BRANCHING ASTERS. 



This superb strain is of American origin, and is especially 

 adapted to our climatic conditions. 



The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 21 feet high, 

 bearing on long, strong stems their handsome Chrysanthemum- 

 like flowers, which, under ordinary cultivation, 

 average 5 inches across. They come into 

 bloom from two to three weeks after the 

 average type, usually being at their best 

 during September, and all things con- 

 sidered are the most valuable of all 

 Asters either for cutting or for 

 bedding, and if only one kind 

 of Asier is grown this is the 

 type which will likely give 

 the best results.

1 EARLY WONDER ASTERS. 



There is no doubt of this being the best extra early Aster yet sent 

 out, flowering in early July from seeds sown in the open ground at the 

 end of April, and if sown in March can be had in bloom before the close 

 of June. The flowers are of good size, quite double, and are borne on 

 good, long, stiff stems, which, added to their extremely early flowering, 

 makes them of great value for cutting.
