Henderson's Giant Comet Aster 



Also known as Aster mums 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, grace- 

 fully formed into loose, yet densely double half 

 globes, equaling some of the finer Ostrich Plume 

 Chrysanthemums. The plants, of luxuriant branch- 

 ing growth, attain a height of 18 inches to 2 feet 

 each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these magnifi- 

 cent flowers on very long stems, which gives 

 them an added value for cutting and vasing

These are great for early cut-flowers. 

 Extra early flowering Asters have here- 

 tofore been produced at the expense of 

 size, doubleness, substance or length of 

 stem, but the Express Comets are nearly 

 as good as late-flowering sorts and come 

 into bloom in the open ground by the 

 middle of July. They are the largest 

 early Asters of which we know , flowers 

 3 ?/£ inches to 4 inches across, splendid 

 substance and long stems; plants are 

 18 inches high; free bloomers. (See 

 illustration.)

New Royal Aster 



A beautiful class and the best of the early Mid-Season 

 Asters. A little later than the ' 'Queen of the Earlies, ' ' but 

 superior to the latter. The plants are of branching habit, 

 about 2 feet high ; the flowers being larger, very double, 

 and the stems are longer, stronger and more upright in 

 growth. The petals are broad and incurved, or shell- 

 shaped, giving the flowers a charming and distinctive 

 effect. They are vigorous and sturdy growers, branching 

 from the base of the plants. Although early — Mid-Season 

 Asters — they remain in flower a long time; the flowers 

 being of splendid substance ; fine cut flower tvpe.
