OREER'S SITPERB 

 LATE BRANCHING ASTERS. 



This superb strain is of American origin, and is especially 

 adapted to our clima'ic conditions. 



The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to to 2') feet high, 

 bearing on long, strong stems their handsome Chrysanthemum- 

 like flowers, which, under ordinary cultivation, averages 5 inches 

 across. They come into bloom from two to three weeks after the 

 average type, usually being at their best during September, and 

 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.

Dreer's Superb 

 Late Branching Aster. 



There is no doubt of this being the best extra early Aster, flower- 

 ing 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 flower- 

 ing, makes them of great value for cutting.
