HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 
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, often6 inches across, 
composed of long, wavy, twisted petals, gracefully 
formed into loose, yet densely double half-globes, 
resembling some of the finer Japanese Chrysanthe- 
mums. These giant varieties differ from the older, 
well-known Comet Asters, not only in bearing much 
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 
give them an added value for cutting for vases.

“Your Giant Comet Asters were extra fine this year; they 
surpass anything I ever had in Asters.” 
—RUSSELL SMITH, Crete, Il. 
“Thave no doubt you will be getting orders from the gar- 
deners here next spring,as they all proclaimed the Giant Comet 
Asters I got from you were the finest ever exhibited in Mon- 
treal; they were magnificent, no mistake. I cut over 100 
blooms of the different kinds, and potted 74 pots of them out 
of my garden (which were not missed) for exhibition only. TI 
did not compete but gota specialist prize. These Asters made 
a beautiful show. So much for an amateur!” 
—WM. WALKER, Montreal, Can. 
“The Giant Comet Asters I got from you last year were the 
handsomest I ever saw; they caused much excitement around 
here. One plant had 52 blossoms on at one time; they were 
beauties.” 
—Mrs. NANCY L. POTTER, McGravwville, N. Y. 
CROWN COMET ASTERS. 
Strikingly beautiful varieties of the large comet 
type. The centre of the flower is a crown of pure 
white surrounded by some rich color, making an 
effective contrast. These Asters were awarded a 
diploma of honor by the French Society of Horti- 
culture.

Tom Thumb Comet Asters. 
Beautiful new Asters. Flowers of elegant form, size 
and doubleness, measuring 4 inches across. Plants of 
dwarf, compact habit of growth, which do not exceed 8 
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, therefore, the earliest 
of all Jarge-owering Asters.
