Dreers' Superb Asters. 



Of the general beauty of these flowers it is unnecessary to 

 spealc ; the immense world-wide demand for them shows their 

 adaptability for any climate; and coming into bloom, as they 

 do, when most other flowers are fading nway, enhances their 

 value. For the best results the ground for the cultivation of 

 Asters cannot be too richly prepared, although they will give 

 satisfactory returns on any ordinary garden soil. 



LATE BRAISCHIXG. 



An Aster of American origin, which for size of bloom, freedom 

 of flowering and other good qualities we have never seen equaled. 

 The plants form strong, branching bushes, fully 2 feet high, 

 bearing profusely on long, strong stems handsome Chrysan- 

 themum-like flowers, many being over 6 inches in diameter. 

 The form of the flowers makes them particularly desirable as 

 cut flowers. They come into flower from two lo three weeks 

 later than most sorts, filling in the gap between the general run 

 of Asters and Chrysanthemums. (See cut.)
