HENDERSON'S COLOSSAL. 



Ten- Week Stocks. 



This magnificent strain is without a rival for open- 

 ground planting, attaining a height of 2J 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 

 so 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.)

" / am greatly pleased with the Colossal Ten- 

 weeks' Stocks raised from seed bought of you. They 

 bloomed beautifully from early summer until the pres- 

 ent time (Nov. S), but none of them went to seed, so 

 I have ordered another packet, as I do not know of a 

 flower which possesses more merits."

LARGETLOWERING 



^fe. "Continuity" Stocks. 



This comparatively new type produces the 

 largest double flowers of any class in the Stock 

 family. The flowers are borne on long trusses 

 standing 2 to 2\ feet above the ground. The 

 plants are of strong, healthy, robust growth 

 and produce continuously for weeks their fine 

 spikes of splendid flowers which are also delight- 

 fully fragrant. Plants from seeds sown in the 

 spring, commence blooming in early summer 

 and continue until cut down by frost. They, 

 however, are equally valuable as winter flower- 

 ing pot plants and furnish excellent cutting 

 material. For the latter purposes sow the 

 seeds during the summer. They commence flow- 

 ering in from 12 to 15 weeks from seed sowing.

 garden and pot culture.

"CUT AND COME AGAIN" STOCK, 



Princess Alice. 



The plants grow about 2 feet high, producing continuously from early 

 summer to late in the fall beautifully shaped double white flowers, which 

 encircle the center spike as well as numbers of side branches splendid 

 for cutting, and the oftener they are cut the better they seem to like 

 it. Per 1,000 seeds, 50c Pkt. 10c. 



STOKESIA CYANEA, 



The Hardy Blue " Cornflower " Aster. 



This beautiful hardy perennial plant is not so well known as it deserves to 

 be. No garden, large or small, should be without it. As a single specimen 

 or group in the herbaceous border it makes for itself a place that cannot be 

 filled by any other hardy plant, while for beds or masses of any size it is very 

 attractive. It is of the easiest culture, blooming the first year from seed, and suc- 

 ceeding in any open sunny position. The plants grow from 18 to 24 inches high and 

 begin flowering in July, continuing without interruption till late in October to produce 

 their handsome lavender-blue cornflower-like blossoms, 4 to 5 inches across, on long stems, 

 rendering them highly valuable for cutting, supplying a shade of color not overplentiful 

 at any season of the year. (See cut.) Pkt. 10c.
