Burpeeana Asters are of uniformly 
upright, compact habit of growth and 
come into bloom extremely early. 
Flowers are globular, double, 3 to 4 in. 
across, with attractively incurved pet- 
als. They are most highly prized both 
in the garden and for cutting. 
Plants are of erect, base branching 
growth, average 20 in. in height, 
with many stems per plant, each stem 
topped with a flower somewhat re- 
sembling the American Beauty in 
shape. Terminal flowers come into 
bloom at about the same time, thus 
making a grand showing. In our plant- 
ings, Burpeeana 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. Created 
by Burpee on Floradale Seed Farms.

Burpee’s Early Asters 
These very early flowering varieties begin to bloom soon 
after Burpeeana—flowers are of different shapes and the 
plants rather open in growth. Extreme earliness and good 
stems make them a most welcome type of aster for early cut- 
ting. All were created by Burpee on Floradale Seed Farms.
