Ostrich Feather Aster 



^ A ^^^- 



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 2J feet hijh, 

 bearing on long, strong stems flowers which, under ordinary 



cultivation, average 5 inches across. They are usually at their \ -t» 



best during September, and, all things considered, are the most ^ ' 



valuable of all Asters, either for cutting or for bedding, and if <; ■ ■ ~ - 



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

 give the best results. ^. \ ;^^ Wf^^^B* Ji /
