HENDERSON’S INVINCIBLE ASTERS 
SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE 
“They are Royally Grand” The Largest and Most Beautiful of all Asters 
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 long stems, massive Chrysanthemum-like 
flowers of perfect form and graceful outline, and are exceedingly double to 
the very center. The flowers are 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 are wonderfully prolific 
and continuous bloomers from summer until frost. When grown in masses 
•n garden borders, or grouped in beds, their decorative effect is unapproach¬ 
ably gay and enlivening. When well grown the flowers of Henderson’s 
Invincible Asters average 3 Vi inches across; 4-inch flowers are quite com¬ 
mon, 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, measuring 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 are un¬ 
surpassed 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.

Patrons Praise Henderson’s Invincible Asters 
“ In the pictures above you will see my famous Aster beds grown from your 
seeds. Henderson’s Invincible and also some Giant Comet. The beds are 4 
feel wide and the full length of the lot on three sides. They were the admiration 
of hundreds of visitors, and I sold some of the choice blossoms at $2.00 per dozen, 
others at $1.50 and $1.00. The largest Invincible Aster I grew measured 6 
inches in diameter and there were plenty that measured 5 inches in diameter. 
All ivho have seen my Asters say that they are the largest and finest ever seen near 
Cleveland. 
“hi the picture above I am holding two beautiful Invincibles 5 inches wide 
and showing no centers. The stems are 36 inches long.”

raised Asters from seed, had alway bought the plants by the dozen. Well last 
year my seeds grew and 1 attended them carefully and I had a bed of Asters such 
as I never saw before. For size, color and quantity of blossoms they were wonder¬ 
ful. Automobiles passing would most always stop to admire them.” 
Mar. 30, 1917. Mrs. J. W. BILLINGS, Royalston, Mass.
