DREER'S SUPERB LATE- 

 BRANCHING ASTERS. 



This grand strain is of American origin, and is espe- 

 cially adapted to our climatic conditions. 



The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2j 

 feet high, bearing on long, strong stems flowers which 

 under ordinary cultivation, average 5 inches across. 

 They come into bloom from two to three weeks afler 

 the average type, usually being at their 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 give the best results. p rr fer
