DREER'S SUPERB 



Late Branching Asters. 



This sunerb strain is of American origin, and is espec- 

 ially adaptea iO our climatic conditions. 



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

 feet high, bearing on long, strong stems their hand- 

 some Chrysanthemum-like flowers, which, under 

 (ordinary cultivation, average over 5 inches across 

 IThe form of the flowers, together with the length of 

 the stems, places them at the head of Asters for cut- 

 ting. They come into bloom from two to three 

 weeks after the average type, usually being at their 

 best during September, and filling in the gap between 

 the general run of Asters and Chrysanthemums. We 

 offer eight beautiful and distinct colors.

 sent out, flowering 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. We offer the white and 

 also the pink variety, and as they are borne on long stems are 

 valuable for cutting.
