Unequal^ for Perfection of ^flowers and viqor of Plants 



Just when summer is beginning to merge into autumn and the floral bloom in the garden is diminishing, along comes the 

 queenly Annual China Aster to make up the deficiency and renew the attractiveness of the garden. 



WILT-RESISTANT ASTER SEED — Through the use of wilt-resistant seed, success may be had where the soil is infected with 

 wilt fungus, where it has been impossible to grow perfect flowering plants. It is not claimed, however, to be free from Aster 

 "yellows" and other Aster diseases or insect pests.

"They are Royally Grand." Largest and Most Beautiful Asters, 



1361 Collection of Henderson's Invincible Asters. 1 packet 

 each of the eight separate colors $1.00 



A superior race in every way. The plants are wilt resistant of 

 very robust, branching growth, about 2 feet or more high, produc- 

 ing, on long stems, massive Chrysanthemum-like flowers of perfect 

 form, exceedingly double to the very center. The petals are thick, 

 durable, and the flowers last long in perfection. They are continu- 

 ous bloomers from summer until frost. When grown in masses in 

 garden borders, or grouped in beds, their effect is gay and enliven- 

 ing. When well grown the flowers average 3V2 inches across; 

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

 side branches pruned, allowing a plant to carry not over 8 flowers, 

 one flower to a stem, they may measure up to 5 inches across. 



Henderson's Invincible Asters are consistent prize winners at 

 Flower Shows throughout the country.

 1281 Collection. One packet each of the seven separate 

 colors 50c 



These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic admiration from all 

 who see them. They are a highly developed American type 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 Chrysanthe- 

 mums. The plants, of luxuriant branching growth, attain a height 

 of 18 inches to 2 feet, each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these 

 magnificent flowers on very long stems, which gives them an added 

 value for cutting and vasing.
