menoees*"screwon GIANT COMET ASTERS. 
It would seem as if the highest possible perfection had been attained in these truly grand 
Asters. They win enthusiastic admiration from all who see them. The flowers are of immense 
size, often 6 inches across, composed of long, wavy, twisted petals, gracefully formed into loose, 
yet densely double, hali-globes, resembling some of the finer Japanese Chrysanthemums. These 
giant varieties differ from the older, well-known Comet Asters, notonlyin bearing greatly larger 
flowers, but the petals are longer and broader. The plants are of luxuriant growth, attaining 
a height of 15 inches, each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these magnificent flowers on long 
stems, which gives them an added value for = 
cutting for vases. (See cut.)

HENDERSON’S 
GIANT COMET ASTERS. 
“T have no doubt you will be getting orders from 
the gardeners here next spring asthey allproclaimed 
the Giant Comet Asters I got from you were the 
finest ever exhibited in Montreal; they were magnifi- 
cent, no mistake, I cut over 100 blooms ot the dit 
ferent kinds, and potted 14 pots of them out ofmy gar- 
den (which were not missed) for exhibition only. I did 
not compete but got a special Ist prize. These Asters 
made a beautifulshow. So much for an amateur!” 
WM. WALKER, Montreal, Can. 
“The Giant Comet Asters I got from you last year were the 
handsomest Iever saw; they eaused much excitement around 
here. One plant had 52 blossoms on at one time; they were 
beauties.”’ Mrs. NANCY L. POTTER, McGrawville, N. Y- 
Strikingly beautiful novelties; plants 
and flowers of the large comet type, 
healthy and floriferous. The centre of the 
flower is a crown of pure white surrounded 
by some rich color, making an effective con- 
trast. These Asters were awarded a diploma

comer, of POODLE ““Asnrrs: 
HESE beautiful new Asters are the result of a cross between the Giant Comet and the 
Dwarf Chrysanthemum-ftiowered Asters. From the former they have inherited the 
elegant form and size and doubleness of flowers, Measuring 4 inches across, while from 
the latter they get the dwarf, compact habit of growth, which does not exceed eight 
inches in height, thus making them especially valuable for garden beds and borders, as 
well as for pot plants. One particularly good point about these Asters is their earliness 
the flowers open early in July, even before the *‘ Queen of the Market’’; they are, there- 
fore, the earliest of all Jarge-Howering Asters. (See cut.)
