of the present day, there has been an improvement so great that it practically amounts to evolution ; this new type — the acme of perfection — produces the 

 most beautiful stocks in cultivation for garden decoration and cutting. They form thrifty, luxuriant bushy plants about one foot high by one foot across, 

 from which issue continuously from early summer until frost, tall symmetrical flower spikes which tower eight to twelve inches above the plants, and on 

 which are gracefully clustered all around the spikes — anil for nearly their entire length— immense, densely double flowers measuring three and a half to five inches 

 in circumference; these flowers, perfect in form, durable in substance, exquisite in texture and color, are redolent with spicy perfume. The length and grace of the 

 flower stems, clothed with such beautiful blossoms, render them exceptionally desirable for cutting purposes for vase and house decoration, where they not only 

 delight the eye, but till the room with enchanting fragrance, The habit of the plant in throwing up new spikes of flowers continuously— no matter bow freely they 

 are gathered — suggested our name of "Cut and Come Again " for this class of stocks. For Garden Beds these stocks are unusually effective ; their profusion of 

 brilliant bloom arrests the attention of the most careless observers and commands the admiration and praise of all. 



The plants look well grouped in large beds, and are especially showy when arranged in rows of contrasting colors; they are absolutely free from insects, 

 and of very easy culture, their highest development being attained in a sunny location, on soil exceedingly rich and in the best possible condition. A mulching 

 of leaf-mould or short manure around the plants during summer supplies additional nourishment, and prevents evaporation of soil moisture. The seeds may be 

 sown in the house or hot bed from February to May — the earlier the better; warmth assists germination, hut after the seedlings are up they should have plenty of 

 air. M'hen large enough transplant into small pots. .1 ml keep them growing until time to plant out In the garden In May; they will then commence blooming in 

 June and continue until after early frosts. The varieties comprising

HENDERSON'S 



NEW CENTURY GOLLEGTION OF 



GIANT TRIMflRDEflU PflNSIES. 



SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PLATE. 



The type of pansles known as " Giant Trimardeau " has become popular the 

 world overon account of the strong luxuriant growth of the deep-rooting plants, 

 which produce in consequence flowers of enormous size and in continued abun- 

 dance from earliest spring until freezing autumn weather, the flowers holding up 

 In size well, even during the summer, when Pansles of less robust constitution 

 dwindle away with the heat. Until the last few years the variety of colors In 

 this type of Pansies has been limited, but recently they commenced to "break" 

 Into new colors and combinations, so that we have been able to add one or two 

 desirable new varieties to the list annually. The new varieties of Giant Trimar- 

 deau Pansies that we are enabled to offer this season are of more than usual 

 excellence and beauty. (.S'ee colored plate opposite.)

. . WISTARIA-LIKE, . . 



SQLflNUM SEflFORTHlflNUM. 



We do not offer this as a new introduction, yet it will no doubt be novel to 

 many of our customers. It is a climbing vine of unusual grace and beauty. 

 Seeds sown by us in April in the house produced thrifty little plants which we 

 planted outin our trial groundsin May ;by July they were in flower. Three vines 

 completely covered a wire netting trellis eight feet high by ten feet long, the ends 

 of the branches gracefully arching out, carrying lovely light blue flowers in 

 immense pendulous panicles, some of them a foot long and fifteen inches in cir- 

 cumference, like clusters of Wistarias. They flowered in greatest profusion until 

 killed by frost, the early maturing flowers being followed by scarlet seed berries. 

 This vine is also of unusual merit for growing in pots, for window or greenhouse 

 decoration Pit. 25c.
