BURPEE’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 fl.owers coming along to take the place of 
the Earlies when they are through blooming. 
.\sters 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. 
I'ur 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 *. 
Royal or Early Branching 
.An early, large-blooming type of Aster with elegant, well-rounded, 
double flowers on very long stems. The broad petals are medium- 
long, gracefully curving inward, except for the centermost petals, 
which usually form an attractive whorl. Royal Asters come into 
bloom when the “Queen of the Market’’ are at their best. 2 ft.
