(Helianthus Cucumerifolius—new types.) 
These improved profuse-flowering, branching 
single Sunflowers are becoming exceedingly pop-

branched pyramidal bushes 3 to 4 feet high, 
bearing from base to summit a continuous suec- 
cession of flowers from June until frost, verita- 
ble pyramids of gold. The perfectly formed 
single flowers, 8 to 4 inches across, are poised 
on long, graceful stems, which ‘‘vase’”’ beauti- 
fully. They are easily grown, commencing to 
flower in a few weeks from seed. (See cut.)

!HENDBRSON’S NEW SALVIA, ‘SCARLET DRAGOON,’¢) 
SALVIA “SCARLET DRAGOON.” 
A most magnificentsummer and autumn 
flowering bedding plant. The old Salvia 
Splendens, or Scarlet Sageas it is popular- 
ly known, has long been a favorite, and 
our customers can partially appreciate the 
superiority of this new variety when we 
state that the flowers are nearly double 
the size, closely crowding the immense 
spikes that often measure 6 inches across. 
Full-grown plants in bloom form compact 
bushes 3 feet through by 3 feet high, and 
bloom from ground tosummit. We know 
of nothing that can equal the gorgeous 
effect of a row or bed of these Salvias, 
when in full bloom; the waving masses of 
glistening scarlet, against green surround- 
ings of lawn or foliage is matchless. (See

This magnificent strain is without 
a rival for open-ground planting, 
attaining a height of 214 feet. The 
spikes of bloom are very long, and 
the individual flowers are enormous 
in size and very double. 
These popular flowers are easily 
grown, and are so highly fragrant 
and of such great beauty and have 
s0 Many good qualities, that they 
deserve a place in every garden. 
They should be given good rich soil 
to grow in, and will amply reward } 
good treatment with remarkably 
large pyramids of bloom; the flow- 
ers represent a great diversity of 
brilliant color. (See cut.)
