HENDERSON'S INVINCIBLE ASTERS 
“I cannot resist the temptation to send photo of my Invincible Aster beds. 
They certainly were a wonder and I feci proud of my success. The stems 
averaged \7 inches in length and the blossoms itiches in diameter. Many 
people came to see them and some with cameras." 
Mrs. FRANCIS E. FOSS. 9828 Winston Ave., Chicago, III. 
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 h 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 themat local exhibitions, flower shows, etc.
