New, extra early, 
long stem asters 
created by Burpee 
1663 All Colors Mixed This 
new Burpee strain of asters is 
particularly noteworthy be- 
cause of its desirable, uniformly 
upright, compact habit of 
growth; also because it comes 
into bloom extremely early. 
Burpeeana Early flowers are 
globular, double, 3 to 4 in. 
across, with attractively in- 
curved petals somewhat re- 
sembling the American Beauty 
in shape. They range from 
snowy white through shell- 
pink, rose, crimson, blue, violet 
to purple—practically all colors 
known in asters. 
Burpeeana Early Asters, in 
many localities, come into full 
bloom before aster wilt or aster 
yellows may make their ap- 
pearance. In our plantings, 
these new asters reached the 
peak of their bloom two weeks 
or more earlier than Queen of 
the Market, with larger and 
better shaped flowers and 
longer, stronger stems. Ideally 
suited for cutting and garden.
