HENDERSON'S 



JUBILEE ASTERS. 



These magnificent Asters bear large double flowers, 

 averaging 5 inches in diameter, of most symmetrical 

 form and of splendid substance. The plants are sturdy 

 and compact, about 2 feet high. Individual plants 

 carry from 25 to 40 of the immense flowers, open at one 

 time, completely covering the upper half of the plant 

 with bloom. The colors are beautiful, clear and rich. 

 Their blooming season is unusually long, the maturing 

 flowers are followed by developing buds in uninter- 

 rupted succession for weeks. Jubilee Asters are not 

 early, following Victoria and Perfection classes, and 

 remain in bloom until the late-branching sorts begin to 

 open. (See cut.)
