''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 

 in 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 J^ inches across; 4-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 4>2 and 5 inches across. These 

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

 15 to 18 inches long, resemble large-sized Chrysanthemums, and are un- 

 surpassed as cut flowers for vases and home decoration. 



We have received many enthusiastic letters o praise from our patrons 

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

 capture prizes with them at local e.xhibitions, flower shows, etc.

PATRONS PRAISE 



Henderson's Invincible Asters 



"/ ain glad, indeed, to add my praise to your wonderful Invincible Asters. 

 From seeds I bought of you last spring, 1 produced garden grown Asters that 

 no professional florists could surpass. The flowers were immense and the 

 colors charming in the extreme. We had great quantities of the flowers in our 

 home all season and gave our friends dozens and dozens at a time, and all 

 praised them most enthusiastically." Mr. LEE CANTRELL, Nashville, Tenn. 



"The largest and most beautiful Asters I ever saw were your Invincibles 

 grown in my flower garden." Mrs. J. K. SHADM.AN, Duke Center, Pa. 



" Your Invincible Asters are grand. I .entered them in the Mille Lacs 

 Co. Fair last September and they took first prize." H.E. COOK, Princeton, Minn. 



"My Invincible .Asters are pronounced the glory of the neighborhood. There 

 are more than 800 blossoms standing between three and four feet high with 

 foliage from tip to root; the flowers so large and perfect as to deceive many 

 into believing they are Chrysanthemums. They are a vision of color and beauty. 

 The blossoms tneasure 4}4 inches in diameter and many s-inch ones. The 

 measurements were taken by florists who came from the extreme limits of North 

 and South Chicago with tape lines and cameras. Do you wonder that I am 

 proud of my Invincible .isters}" Mrs. FR.ANCIS E. FOSS, 



(1S28 Winston Av., Chicago, Ills. 



"My Asters grown from your Invincible straiyi were the best at our flower 

 show. Five blooms of the lavender were the finest .Asters I ever saw and I 

 have grown Asters for sixty years." CHAS. J AS. FOX, South London, C'da. 



"Mrs. Schmell won the first prize at the Interstate Fair at Spokane this 

 fall for large long stemmed Asters; they were grown from your Invincible Seed." 



C. E. SCHMELL, Spokane, Wash. 



"I have had wonderful success with your Invincible Asters this year while 

 others in this section fell completely down." 



C. D. TINNEMEYER. Evansville, Ind. 



"I had the pleasure last fall of taking first premium at our County Fair 

 with my Invincible Asters over several other competitors." 



Mrs. CHAS. I. SALE, Medford, Wis. 



"/ grew your Invincible Asters last year and never saw any to equal them 

 in size, fullness and color." H.AROLD BIGGS, Berkeley. Calif. 



"We have had many people come from long distances to see our wonderful 

 Invincible .Asters. They have grown to a height of 4}4 feet with about 25 

 immense flowers to each plant." CROSS bf BE.ARDSLEY.
