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 varieties, we suggest 
that you have seedlings of later flowering ones 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. They begin to 
bloom in 14 weeks to four months after seed is sown, vary¬ 
ing according to type and climate. For earliest blooms sow 
seed indoors in boxes or pans six weeks before your usual 
outdoor planting time. 
* Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are the Wilt-Resistant Strain. 
They are highly immune to “Wilt disease" or “Stem-rot.”

American, Semple’s or Vick’s Branching 
From midsummer until frost these asters will produce a 
profusion of beautiful flowers. The blooms are quite 
large, 3y£ 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.
