FLOWER SEED SPECIALTIES 
\Y7E introduce to our customers as one of 
** 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, 
producing, on long stems, massive, paeony- 
formed flowers of perfect form and fault¬ 
less outline, and exceedingly double to the 
very centre. The flowers are the most 
beautifully formed of all large Asters. 
The petals are of thick and durable sub¬ 
stance, and, in consequence, the flowers 
last long in perfection. These Asters 
are wonderfully prolific and continuous 
bloomers from summer until checked by 
frost. When grown in masses in garden 
borders, or grouped in beds, their decorative 
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 
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 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 decoration.
