Burpee's Primulinus Hybrid 



Gladioli 



The most graceful in form, artistic in color, and profuse in 

 bloom of all Gladioli. They have made a sensation wherever they 

 have been exhibited and will be in tremendous demand for cut 

 flowers. Although the individual flowers are not large, they carry 

 an air of grace altogether different from the more or less stiff effect 

 of all other Gladioli. Furthermore, these hybrids produce three or 

 sometimes four fully developed flower spikes from a single bulb 

 planted in the spring. In color they range through the usual Gla- 

 diolus shades, with the addition of rich golden yellow and orange.

 \ ariety to anyone for either commercial or private growing, as it is superior to

BALL'S WHITE 



ASTER 



The seed of this splendid Giant Aster of the Late 

 Branching type — the product of twelve years' selection to 

 develop a perfectly double flower, of flawless color — is 

 offered in 1921 for the first time. 



In the Fall of U»08 a plant was found among Late Branching 

 White Asters on which the flowers were solidly double, so much so 

 that, from eight to ten flowers, only fifty seedlings were grown the 

 following year. 



It has been grown and the seed carefully selected every season 

 since. In 1918, three-quarters of an acre netted $2,320. An 

 exceptionally good market helped, but this variety has always sold 

 for 50% more than ordinary White Asters. 



The flowering season comes between the early and late, when the 

 market usually is best. It grows to a melium height with full, dis- 

 tinctively centered blossoms, ideally formed for long distance shipping. 



Seedsmen wishing to catalogue this splendid New Aster, please ivrite.
