Dreer's Superb Late-branching B^Br 



Asters Fs^^ 



This grand strain is of American origin, and is especially I 



adapted to our climatic conditions. j[ 



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



bearing on long, strong stems flowers which, under ordinary (~ 



cultivation, average 5 inches across. They are usually 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. per per *V
