Henderson's Invincible Asters 



Shown in Colors on the Front Cover 



"They Are Royally Grand" the Largest and Most Beautiful 

 of all Asters 



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

 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, exceedingly double to the very center. 

 When well grown the flowers of Henderson's Invincible Asters average 3j^ 

 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, measur- 

 ing 4l}/2 and 5 inches across. These magnificent blossoms, are unsurpassed 



as cut flowers for vases and home decoration.

Imperial or "Daybreak" Asters 



(Shown in colors on this page) 

 These Asters — made in America — are Mid-summer flowering varieties, 

 varieties, healthy and vigorous in growth, of upright bushy habit and very 

 profuse bloomers — veritable bouquets of flowers. The flowers — borne on 

 good, long, stiff stems — are so very double as to appear almost like balls. 

 The petals, short and narrow, are slightly folded and of durable lasting 

 substance. "While splendid as cut flowers, it is the bedding Aster for our 

 American climate and conditions.

 An American type of distinctive beauty, unlike any other Asters grown.

 double flowers 5 inches across, composed of long, narrow straight petals 

 folded lengthwise, which gives them a quilled appearance. The flowers are 

 of great substance and last longer than any other Aster.

Henderson's Giant Comet Asters 



Also known as Astermums and Mammoth Ostrich Plume Asters 



These truly grand Asters 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 mag- 

 nificent flowers on very long stems, which gives them an added value for 

 cutting and vasing.
