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 
flowers coming along to take the place of the Earlies when 
they are through blooming. 
* Varieties marked with an asterisk

Asters are easy to grow. They prefer rich, well-drained soil, 
plenty of sunshine, and ample moisture. Asters begin to 
bloom in 14 weeks to four months after seed is sown, vary¬

seed indoors [in boxes or pans six weeks before outdoor 
planting time.

From midseason until frost these Asters will produce a 
profusion of beautiful flowers. The blooms are quite 
large, 3K to 4 in. across, and fully double. The plants 
grow 2 to 3 ft. tall and branch freely, producing stems 
frequently 2 ft. long, which makes this class especially 
fine for cutting. Nothing could be more dazzling than 
a blaze of color such as these giant flowers will give.
