HENDERSON’S SUPERIOK 
Giant Comet, 
or Ostrich Plume Asters. 
These truly grand Asters win enthusiastic 
admiration from a!! 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 luxuriant 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.)

"7 have no doubt you will be getting orders 
from the gardeners here next spring, as they 
all proclaimed the Giant Comet Asters I got 
from you were the finest ever exhibited in 
Montreal; they were magnificent, no mistake. 
I cut over 100 blooms of the different kinds , 
and potted J4 plants of them out of my garden 
for exhibition. I did not compete but got a 
special first prize. These A sters wade a beau¬ 
tiful show. So much for an amateur!”

EXTRA EARLY EXPRESS COMET ASTERS. 
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 heretofore been produced at the expense of either size, doubleness, sub¬ 
stance 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, 3* 
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. „ , „ ,
