HENDERSON'S INVINCIBLE ASTERS 



SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE 



'They are Royally Grand" The Largest and Most Beautiful of all Asters 



Henderson's Invincible are the latest and highest achievements in China 

 Asters, a superior race in every way. The plants are of very healthy, 

 robust, branching growth, about 2 feet high — though under best culture 

 often 3 feet — producing, on long stems, massive Chrysanthemum-like 

 flowers of perfect form and graceful outline, and are exceedingly double to 

 the very center. The flowers are the most beautifully formed of all large 

 Asters. The petals are of thick, durable substance, and, in consequence, 

 the flowers last long in perfection. These Asters are wonderfully prolific 

 and continuous bloomers from summer until frost. When grown in masses 

 m garden borders, or grouped in beds, their decorative effect is unapproach- 

 ably gay and enlivening. When well grown the flowers of Henderson's 

 Invincible Asters average 3'£ inches across; 1-inch flowers are quite com- 

 mon, 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 i}4 and 5 inches across. These 

 magnificent blossoms, being gracefully poised on strong, well-leaved stems 

 15 to IS inches long, resemble large-sized Chrysanthemums, and are un- 

 surpassed as cut flowers for vases and home decoration. 



We have received many enthusiastic letters of praise from our patrons 

 regarding these Asters — some of whom have been fortunate enough to 

 capture prizes with them at local exhibitions, flower shows, etc.

Patrons Praise Henderson's Invincible Asters 



"In the pictures above you will see my famous Aster beds grown from your 

 seeds. Henderson's Invincible and also some Giant Comet. The beds are 4 

 feel wide and the full length of the lot on three sides. They were the admiration 

 of hundreds of visitors, and I sold some of the choice blossoms at $2.00 per dozen, 

 others at $1.50 and $1.00. The largest Invincible Aster I grew measured 6 

 inches in diameter and there were plenty that measured 5 inches in diameter.

 as large and as beautiful as Chrysanthemums, with stems 3 feet long." 

 Mar. 2, 1917. N. THOMPSON, 513 IF. Cook St., Portage, Wis.

 one ounce each of the other colors."

"I planted the Invincible Aster seed I received from you. I had never before 

 raised Asters from seed, had alway bought the plants by the dozen. Well last 

 year my seeds grew and I attended them carefully and I had a bed of Asters such 

 as I never saw before. For size, color and quantity of blossoms they were wonder- 

 ful. Automobiles passing would most always slop to admire them." 

 Mar. 30, 1917. Mrs. J. W. BILLINGS, Royalston, Mass. 



"I had great results in 1916 from your Invincible Asters. In th-'s far 

 Northern City they grew to perfection and we had cuttings from late blooms 

 until October." 



Rev. J. W. McINTOSH, 

 Feb. 27, 1917. St. Paul's Manse, Prince Albert, Sask., Cda. 



"Last year your Invincible Asters grown from seed either two or three years old 

 gave wonderful results, and were much admired by all visitors to my garden. I 

 made ten entries of Asters at the Montreal West Show and secured seven first and 

 three seconds."
