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 ‘‘yellows’’ and other Aster diseases or insect pests.

‘‘They are Royally Grand.’’ The Largest and Most 
Beautiful of all Incurved Asters. 
A superior race in every way. The plants are wilt resistant of very 
robust, branching growth, about 2 feet or more high, producing, on long 
stems, massive Chrysanthemum-like flowers of perfect form, exceed- 
ingly double to the very center. The petals are thick, durable, and the 
flowers last long in perfection. They are continuous bloomers from 
summer until frost. When yrown in masses in garden borders, or 
grouped in beds, their effect is gay andenlivening. When well grown the 
flowers average 314 inches across; 4-inch flowers are quite common. 
and if grown for cut flowers, the side branches pruned, allowing a plant 
to carry not over 8 flowers, one flower to a stem, they may measure up 
to 5 inches across. 
Henderson’s Invincible Asters are consistent prize winners at Flower 
Shows throughout the country.

ALSO KNOWN AS ASTERMUM, CREGO AND 
MAMMOTH OSTRICH PLUME 
These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic admiration from all who 
see them. They are a highly developed American type and are far 
superior to imported strains. The flowers are of immense size, 4 to 5 
and often 6 inches across, composed of long, wavy, twisted petals, 
gracefully formed into loose, yet densely double, half globes, equaling 
some of the finer Ostrich Plume Chrysanthemums. The plants, of 
luxuriant branching growth, attain a height of 18 inches to 2 feet, 
each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these magnificent flowers on very 
long stems, which gives them an added value for cutting and vasing.
