A SUPERIOR TYPE, OF HEALTHY, ROBUST GROWTH, PRODUCING 
LONG-STEMMED FLOWERS OF IMMENSE SIZE AND PERFECT FORM 
THEY ARE OF SURPASSING BEAUTY WHEN CUT FOR VASES, 
AND OF INCOMPARABLE EFFECT FOR GARDEN BEDS 
W^ 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, pseony-formed flowers of per¬ 
fect form^ and faultless outline, and 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 conse¬ 
quence, the flowers last long in perfection. These Asters are wonder¬ 
fully 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 3J 
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 
not over 8 or 10 flowers, one flower to a stem, their size will then be 
enormous, measuring 4J 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 unsur¬ 
passed as cut flowers for vases and home decoration.
