HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 
Giant Comet, 
or Ostrich Plume Asters. 
These truly grand Asters win enthusi- 
astic admiration from all who see them 
The flowers are of immense size, often 6 
inches across, composed of long, wavy 
twisted petals, gracefully formed into 
loose, yet densely double, half-globes 
resembling some of the finer Japanese 
Chrysanthemums. The plants, of luxu¬ 
riant growth, attain a height of 15 inches, 
each plant bearing from 20 to 30 of these 
magnificent flowers on long stems, which 
give them an added value for cutting for 
vases. ( See cut.)

“The Giant Comet Asters I got from you 
were the finest ever exhibited in Montreal; 
they were magnificent, no mistake. I did 
not compete but got a special first prize. 
So much for an amateur!" 
WM. WALKER, Montreal, Can. 
CROWN COMET ASTERS. 
Strikingly beautiful varieties of the large comet type. The centre 
of the flower is a crown of pure white surrounded by some rich 
color, making an effective contrast. These Asters were awarded 
a diploma of honor by the French Society of Horticulture.

EXTRA EARLY. 
Express Comet 
A new early-flowering section of great 
merit, not only for garden purposes, but 
of even more value for early cut flowers. 
Extra early flowering Asters have here¬ 
tofore been produced at the expense of 
either size, doubleness, substance or 
length of stem, but the Express Comets 
are equally as good as later-flowering 
sorts and come into bloom in the open 
ground with us by the middle of July. 
The biggest early Asters we know of; 
really large, fine flowers, 3H to 4 inches 
across, of very double graceful comet 
type; splendid substance and long stems; 
plants healthy and sturdy, of branching 
habit, 18 inches high; free bloomers.
