Giant Crego and Ostrich Plume for midseason; Giant 
Branching and Beauty for late. Give plenty of room—

ASTERS—Early Burpeeana 
If troubled with Aster Wilt or Aster Yellows, 
sow this variety. 
This new strain of Asters is particularly noteworthy 
because of its desirable, uniformly upright habit of growth; 
20 to 24 inches high, with many stems per plant, each stem 
being unusually strong and topped with globular, double 
flowers, 3 to 4 in. across somewhat resembling the Amer- 
ican Beauty in shape, with attractively incurved petals, 
ranging from snowy white, shell-pink, rose, crimson, blue 
to purple. Asters, Early Burpeeana come into full bloom 
before aster wilt or aster yellows make their appearance, 
blooming two weeks earlier than Queen of the Market.

ASTERS—Wilt Resistant 
The Aster wilt disease is caused by a parasite fungus 
which, when once in the soil, will attack any Aster planted 
in the place at any time. Only through the use of wilt- 
resistant strains is it possible to grow Asters more than 
one year in the same soil. We offer the following wilt- 
resistant varieties:

2% to 3 feet tall, immense flowers, 4 to 5 inches in diam-
