Burpec 9 s Glorious Asters 
A continuous display of Asters from early summer until frost can be had by planting early, midseason, and late varieties. 
If you plant some very early Asters, we suggest that you have seedlings of later flowering Asters or other flowers coming 
along to take the place of the Earlies when they are through blooming. 
Asters are easy to grow. They prefer rich, well-drained soil, plenty of sunshine and ample moisture. Asters bloom from 
three to five months after seed is sown, varying according to type and climate. For early blooms sow seed indoors in 
boxes or pans six weeks before outdoor planting time. 
Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are the new Wilt-Resistant Strains. If you have had poor results with Asters 
through attacks of “Wilt disease” or “Stem-rot,” we suggest that you try those marked *.
