HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR. 



Giant Comet, 



or Ostrich Plume Asters. 



These truly grand Asters win enthusi- 

 astic admiration from all who see them. 

 The flowers are of immense size, often 6 

 inches across, composed of long, wavy, 

 twisted petals, gracefully formed into 

 loose, yet densely double, half-globes 

 resembling some of the finer Japanese 

 Chrysanthemums. The plants, of luxu- 

 riant growth, attain a height of 15 inches 

 each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these 

 magnificent flowers on long stems, which 

 give them an added value for cutting for 

 vases. (See cut.)

 So much for an amateur.'"

Asters 



EXTRA EARLY. 



Express Comet. 



A new early-flowering section of great 

 merit, not only for garden purposes, but 

 of even more value for early cut flowers. 

 Extra early flowering Asters have here- 

 tofore been produced at the expense of 

 either size, doubleness, substance or 

 length of stem, but the Express Comets 

 are equally as good as later-flowering 

 sorts and come into bloom in the open 

 ground with us by the middle of July. 

 The biggest early Asters we know of; 

 really large, fine flowers, 3*2 to 4 inches 

 across, of very double graceful comet 

 type; splendid substance and long stems; 

 plants healthy and sturdy, of branching 

 habit, IS inches high; free bloomers.
