Dreer's Superb Late-branching 

 Asters 



This grand strain is of American origin, and is especially 

 adapted to our climatic conditions. _— - ! 



The plants form strong, branching bushes 2 to 2| feet high, \ 



bearing on long, strong stems flowers which, under ordinary «r 



cultivation, average 5 inches across. They are usually at their * 



best during September, and, all things considered, are the most t 



valuable of all Asters, either for cutting or for bedding, and.if A- 



only one kind of Aster is grown this is the type which will 

 likely give the best results. v; '-'"* '*$$& ■
