HENDERSON'S FAMOUS ASTERS 



Just when summer is beginning to merge into autumn and the floral bloom in the garden is diminishing, along 

 comes the queenly Annual China Aster to make up the deficiency and renew the attractiveness of the garden. 



WILT-RESISTANT ASTER SEED — Through the use of wilt-resistant seed, success may be had where the soil is infected 

 with wilt fungus, where it has been impossible to grow perfect flowering plants. It is not claimed, however, to be free 

 from Aster "yellow*" and other Aster diseases or insect pests. 



a 4 A IMPERIAL or "DAYBREAK" 



These Asters are mid-summer flowering varieties. The flowers — borne 

 on long, stiff stems — are so double as to appear almost like balls. It is the 



Amjr &* bedding Aster for our American climate and conditions.
