They are the Largest and Most Beautiful of all Asters 



HENDERSON'S INVINCIBLE 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 Chry- 

 santhemum-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 unapproachably gay and 

 enlivening. When well grown the flowers of Henderson's Invincible 

 Asters 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, 

 their size will then be enormous, measuring 4J4 and 5 inches across. 

 These magnificent blossoms, being gracefully poised on strong, well- 

 leaved stems 15 to 18 inches long, resemble large-sized Chrysanthe- 

 mums, and are unsurpassed as cut flowers for vases and home 

 decoration. We have received many enthusiastic letters of praise from 

 our patrons regarding these Asters — some of whom have been 

 fortunate enough to capture prizes with them at local exhibitions, 

 flower shows, etc. 



"I must tell you that I 

 have had wonderful suc- 

 cess with your Invincible 

 Asters this year, and I 

 am going to order now 2 

 ounces of your White 

 Invincible and 1 ounce 

 each of the other colors." 

 O. DELVIGNE,

"I shall be delighted 

 for you to use the pic- 

 tures of my Asters inyour 

 catalogue next year. My 

 home and garden are 

 unpretentious and I 

 haven't anyone even to 

 cultivate my flowers. 

 This picture when en- 

 larged is beautiful; some 

 of them have been shown 

 on the screen at one of 

 our local theaters.

"I grew your Invin-

 They were the most sat-

"The Invincible As- 

 ters I got from, you last

HENDERSON'S GIANT COMET ASTERS 



ALSO KNOWN AS ASTERMUMS AND MAMMOTH OSTRICH PLUME ASTERS 

 Numbers 1, 2 and 3 Shown in Colors on the Opposite Page 



These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic admiration from all 

 who see them. 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. 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. 



WORDS OF PRAISE FOR HENDERSONS GIANT COMET ASTERS 

 "For Sunday, September 24th, I sent to our church over 125 most 

 beautiful Comet Asters from your seed. Everyone said they never saw 

 such a beautiful showing of flowers in any church." 



Capt. C. E. K. BAXTER, 



R. F. D. 1, Box 327, Seattle, Wash. 

 "Your Comet Asters were the finest I had last year. Very large with 

 long stems. I sold bunch after bunch."
