Burpee^s American 
Beauty Asters 
Come into bloom shortly after the Giant Branching 
type. Plants are of branching habit, vigorous, 2 to 2% 
ft. tall, and very profuse blooming. Flowers are globular, 
fully double, with prettily incurved petals, and grow 
4 in. and more across. Noted for their unusually long 
steins which makes them one of the best for cut-flower 
purposes. There are two strains of the American Beauty 
Asters, early and late; we offer the earlier type.
