Burpeeana 
New, extra early, 
long stem asters 
created by Burpee 
“t Burpeeana Early Asters are 
| particularly noteworthy  be- 
cause of their desirable, uni- 
formly upright, compact habit 
of growth; also because they 
bloom extremely early. 
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. 
Burpeeana Early flowers are 
globular, double, 3 to 4 in. 
across, with attractively in- 
curved petals somewhat re- 
sembling the American Beauty 
aster in shape. They range from 
snowy white through shell- 
pink, rose, crimson, blue, violet 
to purple—practically all colors 
known in annual asters. 
Seed crop very short; order early.
