Let A n ( n 1 ) be the set of all integers x such that there exists a connected graph on n vertices with precisely x spanning trees. It was shown by Sedláček that | A n | grows faster than the linear function. In this paper, we show that | A n | grows faster than n e ( 2 π / 3 ) n / log n by making use of some asymptotic results for prime partitions. The result settles a question posed in J. Sedláček, On the number of spanning trees of finite graphs, Čas. Pěst. Mat., 94 (1969), 217–221.
