HENDERSON’S INVINCIBLE ASTERS 
(SHOWN IN COLORS 
They Are the Largest and 
Henderson s Invincible are the latest and highest achievements in China 
Asters, 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 longstems, massive Chrysanthemum-like flowers of per¬ 
fect form and graceful outline, and are exceedingly double to the very center. 
The flowers arc 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 arc 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 enliven¬ 
ing. When well grown the flowers of Henderson’s Invincible Asters average 
3’j 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 si ze will then be enormous, measur¬ 
ing 4 1 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 arc 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.

HENDERSON’S INVINCIBLE ASTERS

From three packages of seeds, I sold over 1500 perfect blooms, besides hundreds 
of seconds. My asters were the wonder of all who saw them."

l shall be delighted for you to use the picture of my Asters in your catalogs I 
next year. My home and garden are unpretentious and I haven't anyone even 
to cultivate my flowers. This picture when enlarged is beautiful; some of then, 
have been shown on the screen at one of our local theaters.

"The Invincible Asters I raised last year were wonderful. They were im¬ 
mense, of many ^colors and bloomed freely. We picked the last of them Novem- 
ber 2nd."

HENDERSON’S GIANT COMET ASTERS 
ALSO KNOWN AS ASTERMUMS AND MAMMOTH OSTRICH PLUME ASTERS 
(Shown in Colors on Plate opposite) 
HENDERSON’S GIANT COMET ASTERS 
I hese truly grand Asters win enthusiastic admiration from all who see 
them. They 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 Chrysanthe¬ 
mums. The plants, of luxuriant branching growth, attain a height of IS 
inches to 2 feet, each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these magnificent 
flowers on very long stems, which gives them an added value for cutting and 
vasing. 
"I wish to say that I have grown Henderson's seeds for a number of years and 
have never known them to fail. Last year from a packet of your Giant Comet 
Aster seed I raised flowers which measured five inches across. They were a 
perfect show for beauty of color and perfect flowers."
