Burpee’s Beautiful ASTERS. 
A continuous display of asters from early summer until frost can be had by planting early, midseason, and late, 
blooming varieties. If you plant some very early varieties, we suggest that you have seedlings of other flowers 
coming along to take the place of the earlies when they are through blooming, thus keeping all your ground 
occupied during the entire season.

Burpee’s Extra Early Asters 
In full bloom before others begin to flower 
To those who love the delicacy and richness of asters, these ex- 
tremely early flowering varieties will be a joy. They begin to bloom 
in about 14 weeks after seed is sown—long before most other asters 
begin to bud. Extreme earliness and good cutting stems make them 
a most welcome new type of aster for the home gardener and the 
florist. Both were originated on Burpee’s Floradale Farms.

across with the center incurving petals displaying a silvery sheen.~ 
Plants are of open, spreading habit, 1% ft. tall and about 2 ft. 
across; not very leafy, seeming to give all their strength to the flow- 
ers, which are freely borne on stems ranging in length from 12 to 
15 in. Last long when cut. Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. 50¢; % oz. 85¢. 
1603 Navy Blue Honorable Mention, All-America Selections. Giant 
flowered aster; rather close in form to that of the Giant Crego type. 
The flowers are large, about 4 in. in diameter, with long, ribbon-like, 
beautifully curled, twisted and interlaced petals of a rich, luminous, deep 
velvety purple-blue color. Plants grow about 20 in. tall. Stems are long 
and wiry,.12 in. and more in length; wonderful for cutting. Makes a 
grand showing in the garden for many weeks as plants are extremely 
free-blooming over a long period.

3048 Peerless Pink* Almost globular, 4 in., shell-pink flow-

2% ft. tall. Pkt. 15¢; 4% oz. 40¢; 14 oz. 70¢.
