FLOWER SEEDS 



ASTER-HENDERSON'S INVINCIBLE (Annua/) 



(Shown in Colors on the Opposite Page) 



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



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

 robust, branching growth, about 2 feet or more high— producing, 

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

 and graceful outline, exceedingly double to the very center. The 

 petals are of thick, durable substance, and, in consequence, the 

 flowers last long in perfection. They are wonderfully prolific and 

 continuous bloomers from summer until frost. When grown in 

 masses in garden borders, or grouped in beds, their decorative effect 

 is unapproachably gay and enlivening. When well grown the flowers 

 average 3^- inches across; 4-inch flowers are quite common, 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, they 

 may measure up to 5 inches across. 



Many of our patrons have been fortunate enough to capture nu- 

 merous prizes with them at exhibitions, flower shows, etc.

A Novelty That Has Made Good 



THE BEAUTIFUL ASTER SUNSHINE (Annual) 



(Shown in colors on page 82) 



' There is no doubt that the Sunshine Aster is a distinct acqui- 

 sition to floriculture. 



The colors of these recently introduced Asters are surprisingly 

 beautiful, chiefly because of the strongly contrasting disc-like centers 

 with the surrounding aurea of petals. 



The ensemble presents an airy lace-like effect different to any 

 other Aster. The flowers average 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Our 

 color plate on page 80 shows the various colors we offer. They 

 have become instantaneously popular, and are much in demand 

 as cut-flowers.

GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 



Shown in colors on page 82 



We take pleasure in recommending these truly grand asters as 

 being the best type ever offered to garden lovers. It is a combination 

 of the well-known Comet or Ostrich Plume type of flower, with the 

 Daybreak Aster's long branching stems and sturdy habit of growth, 

 and it places this variety at the head of this class. 



Careful selection has perfected the type and we recommend them 

 strongly both for cutting and bedding.
