Patrons Praise Henderson's Invincible Asters 



The collection of Henderson's In- 

 vincible Asters" that I purchased 

 from you this year has exceeded my 

 expectations in the size of bloom and 

 the length of stems. I placed them on 

 exhibition in the flower show just 

 held at Butte, Mont., and captured 

 all the first prites in the Aster section. 

 They were admired by all who saw 

 them, no others on display were near 

 as big as mine and the quality of 

 "Henderson's Invincibles' was so 

 far above the rest that there was no 

 comparison. They were grown at an 

 attitude of 6,300 feet and in a climate 

 where we get heavy frosts until the be- 

 ginning of June.

My Asters last year from the In- 

 vincible Seed purchased from you 

 were perfectly beautiful.

Have grown Henderson's Invinci- 

 ble Asters for a number of years with 

 great success, and every year they 

 grow more beautiful. They bloomed 

 beautifully and are exquisite. Those 

 who want the finest Asters should 

 order the Invincibles.

Your collection of Invincible Aster 

 seed I purchased from you last spring 

 are one mass of flowers and all 

 see who see them say they are the fin- 

 est they ever saw. I lost only six 

 plants all told from the time I planted 

 the seed to individual planting and 

 then to permanent planting. Regard- 

 less of severe frost last week they were 

 not damaged in the least.

I want to tell you that from your 

 $1.00 collection of Invincible Asters, 

 I have already cleared $16.00 and 

 hope to double it. They are lovely, 

 even in this warm climate, and I only 

 planted them for my own use but a 

 local florist is buying them all.

I want to congratulate you on your 

 wonderful Invincible Aster Seeds. 

 The Seeds I got from you in the 

 spring (1925) nave grown some won- 

 derful blooms. I have won a silver 

 cup and won first prize for Asters 

 and second on your Dahlia Flowered 

 Zinnias.

Henderson's Invincible are the highest achievement in China Asters, 

 and 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 

 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 4Jk<j 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 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.
