Burpee's Asters 



Asters are growing iu popularity with the American people every year, and good, full-centered flowers on long stems bring 

 prices which guarantee profits. Burpee's Aster seed is grown in those sections of the United States which produce the finest 

 seed. Our stocks are true to type; every care is exercised to keep them free from off-colors and yellow centers. They will 

 produce the largest and Unest flowers on the longest stems.

Dear Sir: -We feel impelled to tell you the high praise that we have received 

 from our customers concerning your V\ hite Aster. In addition to its magnificent 

 form, it also has the advantage of being an ex rellent keeper and one of the best 

 sellers t hat we have t . offer. We take great pleasure in recommending this 

 variety to anyone for t ilher commercial or private growing, as it is superior to 

 any other White Aster. Very truly yours, 



THE CHICAGO FLOrtER GROWERS' ASSOCIATION. 



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 1908 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 U»18, three-quarters of an acre netted $2,;V-'0. An 

 exceptionally good market helped, but this variety has always sold 

 for nO% more than ordinary White Asters. 



The flowering sea.son comes betweeo the early and late, when the 

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

 tinctively centered blossoms, ideally formed for long distance shipping. 



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