 of incomparable effect for garden beds. 



w 



E introduce to our customers as one of 

 the latest and highest achievements in 

 China Asters, a superior race in every way. 

 The plants are of very healthy, robust, 

 branching growth, about two feet high, 

 producing, on long stems, massive, pa^ony- 

 formed fl jwers of perfect form and fault- 

 less outline, and exceedingly double to the 

 very centre. The flowers are the most 

 beautifully formed of all large Asters. 

 The petals are of thick and durable sub- 

 stance, and, in consequence, the flowers 

 last long in perfection. These Asters 

 are wonderfully prolific and continuous 

 bloomers from summer until checked by 

 frost. When grown in masses in garden 

 borders, or grouped in beds, their decorative 

 effect is unapproachably gay and enlivening. 

 When well grswn the flowers of Henderson's 

 Invincible Asters average 3h inches across; 

 4-inch flowers are quite common, and if grown 

 especially for cut flowers, the side branches 

 pruned, allowing a plant to carry not over 8 or 10 

 flowers, one flower to a stem, their size will then 

 be enormous, measuring 4i and 5 inches across. 

 These magnificent blossoms being gracefully poised on 

 strong, well-leaved stems 15 to IS inches long, resemble 

 good-sized Chrysanthemums, and are unsurpassed as cut 

 flowers for vases and home decoration.
