HENDERSON'S INVINCIBLE 



(Shown in Colors on Bach Cover) 

 Immense Flowers — Long Stems — Ideal Forms and Colors 



Henderson's Invincible are a superior race in every way. The plants are of 

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

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

 •of perfect form and graceful outline, exceedingly double to the very center. 

 The flowers are the most beautifully formed of all large Asters. When well 

 grown the flowers of Henderson's Invincible Asters average Zyi inches across; 

 4rinch flowers are quite common, if grown especially for cut flowers and the 

 «ide branches pruned, allowing a plant to carry not over 8 or 10 flowers, one 

 flower to a stem. We have received many enthusiastic letters of praise from 

 patrons who have been fortunate enough to capture prizes with them at local 

 •exhibitions, flower shows, etc.

HENDERSON'S GIANT COMET 



Also known as Astermum, Crego and 



Ostrich Plume Asters 



They are a highly developed American type of the 

 German Comet, or Mammoth Ostrich Plume Asters 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. (See 

 engraving.)

KING 



An American type of distinctive beauty, unlike any other Asters grown. The 

 plants are tall, strong growers, with long stems crowned with massive double 

 flowers 5 inches across, composed of long, narrow, straight petals folded length- 

 wise, which gives them a quilled appearance. The flowers are of great substance 

 and last longer cut than any other Aster.
