PURITY and 
daybeeah. 
Most beautiful bushy, branch¬ 
ing Asters, growing about 2 feet 
high, with large, double flowers, 
composed of incurved petals 
almost as regularly placed as in 
a Dahlia. The flowers are borne 
upright on stiff, long stems, and 
the plants in bloom are charming 
beyond description, and for cut¬ 
ting purposes there are no finer 
Asters grown.

HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR 
GIANT COMET OR 
OSTRICH PEUME ASTERS. 
It would seem as if the highest possible perfection 
had been attained in these truly grand Asters. They 
win enthusiastic 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 Chrysanthe¬ 
mums. These giant varieties differ from the older, 
well-known Comet Asters, not only in bearing much 
larger flowers, but the petals are longer and broader. 
The plants are of luxuriant growth, attaining 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.

“/ have no doubt you will be getting orders from the 
gardeners here next spring, as they all proclaimed the 
Giant Comet A sters I got from you were the finest ever 
exhibited in Montreal; they were magnificent, no mis¬ 
take. I cut over 100 blooms of the different kinds, and 
Dotted lit plants of them out of my garden for exhibition. 
■ did not compete but got a special 1st prize. These A sters 
made a beautiful show. So much for an amateur!'' 
WM. WALKER , Montreal, Can. 
l Phe Giant Comet Asters 1 got from you last year 
were the handsomest I ever saw; they caused much ex¬ 
citement around here. One plant had 62 blossoms on 
at one time; they were beauties."

GROWN GOMET 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 Horti¬ 
culture.

TOM THUMB GOMET ASTERS. 
Beautiful new Asters. Flowers of elegant form, size 
and doubleness, measuring 4 inches across. Plants of 
dwarf, compact habit of growth, which do not exceed 8 
inches in height, thus making them especially valuable 
for garden beds and borders, as well as for pot plants. 
One particularly good point about these Asters is their 
earliness—the flowers open early in July, even before the 
“Queen of the Market”; they are, therefore, the earliest 
of all large-flowering Asters.

VICTORIA ASTERS. 
Magnificent flowers, massive and showy, with regular 
overlapping petals double clear to the centre. The 
flowers measure 4 to 5 inches across, and the colors in¬ 
clude many extremely delicate and some gorgeous shades. 
The plants grow very evenly, about 18 inches high, and 
carry from 25 to 40 flowers on a plant. Perhaps the 
handsomest Asters, taken all in all, for size, color and 
profusion of bloom. (See cut.)
