"My Invincible Asters were awarded First Prize at the Berkshire
Co. Fair last year. Some of the flowers measured 5 inches across. "
Mrs. CHESTER HOPKINS, Blackinglon, Kan.
"Last fall I received 'two blues and one red' (premiums) from
the R. Country Club flower show for Invincible Asters and they
created a perfect furore of enthusiasm."
Mrs. FRANCIS E. FOSS, 9828 Winston Ave., Chicago, 111.

plants grew to be nearly U feel tall; the blossoms were immense and
the colors most beautiful."
Mrs. E. W. SHEARBURN, Haddam, Kan.
" The Invincible Asters are grand. I find none to equal them in
this country. They cause no little comment in our town."
Dr. L. 0. BARNARD, Kelso, Wash.
" Your grand Invincible Asters have certainly given me a reputa-
tion as an Aster fancier."
HARRY CERHART, Marshalltown, Iowa.
"Last year I grew your Invincible Asters with stems 28 inches
long and flowers 4J4 inches across. All perfect flowers."
J. II. BALLOU, Springville, N. Y.

Invincible Asters last year; some flowers 5 inches in diameter."

H ENDERSON'S
Invincible Asters
These are the latest and highest achievements in China Asters, a superior race in every way.
The plants are of very healthy, robust, branching growth, about 2 feet high — though under best
culture often 3 feet — producing, on long stems, massive Chrysanthemum-like flowers of perfect
form and graceful outline, and are 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 consequence, the flowers last long in perfection. These Asters are wonderfully prolific and
continuous bloomers from summer until 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 3J4 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 large-sized Chrysanthemums, and are
unsurpassed as cut flowers for vases and home decoration.
We have received many enthusiastic letters of praise from our patrons — regarding these
Asters — some of whom have been fortunate enough to capture prizes with them at local exhibi-
tions, flower shows, etc. (.See cut.)
