HENDERSON'S INVINCIBLE ASTERS 



"/ cannot resist the temptation to send photo of mv Invincible Aster beds. 

 They certainly were a -wander and I feel proud of my success. The stems 

 averaged 47 inches in length and the blossoms 4}^ inches in diameter. Many 

 people came to see them and some with cameras." 



Mrs. FRANCIS K. FOSS. 9828 Winston Ave., Chicago, III. 



"The handsomest Asters I ever had were grown from your Invincible seed." 

 Mrs. CARROLL POTTER. Charles River, Mass. 



"I enclose you a photograph of my Invincible Asters grown in Alaska from 

 your seed. Most of the florjiers measured fully 7 inches in diameter and were 

 admired by visitors and tourists from all parts of the United States. 



XV. C. BLANCHARD, Skagnay, Alaska. 



"I want to add a word in praise of your Invincible Asters which were far 

 superior in size, perfectness of blossoms and particularly in lasting qualities. 

 Long after the other asters had completely gone, the Invincibles were still ready 

 for gathering." N. VANDERBILT, San Rafael, Cal. 



Henderson's 

 Invincible Asters 



The latest and highest achievements 

 in China Asters, a superior race in every 

 way. The plants are of very healthy, robust, 

 branching growth, about two feet high, pro- 

 ducing, on long stems, massive, Peony-formed 

 flowers of perfect form and faultless outline, and 

 are exceedingly double to the very centre. The flow- 

 ers are the most beautifully formed of all large 

 Asters. The petals are of thick durable substance, 

 and, in consequence, the flowers last long in perfec- 

 tion. These Asters are wonderfully prolific and con- 

 tinuous bloomers from summer until checked by frost. When 

 grown in masses in garden borders, or grouped in beds, their dec- 

 orative 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 espe- 

 cially 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 4^ and 5 inches across. These 

 magnificent blossoms being gracefully poised on strong, well-leaved 

 stems 15 to 18 inches long, resemble good-sized Chrysanthemums, 

 and are unsurpassed as cut flowers for vases and home decor- 

 ation. 



We have received many enthusiastic letters of praise from our pa- 

 trons — regarding these Asters — some of whom have been fortunate 

 enough to capture prizes with them at local exhibitions, flower shows, etc.
