HENDERSON'S FAMOUS ASTERS 



COMMAND THE HIGHEST PRICES IN THE CUT FLOWER MARKETS 



HENDERSON'S GIANT COMET ASTERS 



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.

HENDERSON'S INVINCIBLE ASTERS 



Immense Flowers — Long Stems — Ideal Forms and Colors — 

 The Highest Development in Asters 



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

 healthy, 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 3K inches across; 

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

 side 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.

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

 and last longer cut than any other Aster.
