HENDERSON'S LARGE-FLOWERING 



Perfection Sweet William. 



For many years the Sweet William has been esteemed 

 as one of the finest of our hardy garden plants, being 

 of easy culture, thriving in any good garden soil and 

 lasting for years. The plants grow about 1 foot high 

 and form fine clumps. Our improved Perfection 

 strains produce in greatest profusion very large florets 

 in large heads and of a great variety of extremely 

 rich colors, including blood-crimson, salmon, pink, 

 white, cerise, etc. — many having large white eyes, and 

 all being deliciously sweet scented. (See cut.) 

 Harlequin. Large flowers of several colors are produced 

 on the same plant. Sometimes a head will be all crim- 

 son, another all pink, another white, etc., but usually 

 florets of different colors will be borne in one head; 



very unique and beautiful Pkt. 10c.

New Annual Sweet William. 



(Dianthus Barbatus Annuus.) 

 One of the finest novelties of the season. The old 

 favorite Sweet William, as all know, does not flower 

 until the second year from seed, but this new type 

 commences blooming in early summer from spring- 

 sown seed and continues in flower for several weeks. 

 The plants are of the same habit as the perennial kinds, 

 producing fine heads of bloom of various colors — white, 

 crimson, rose-pink, etc., many of which are broadly 

 edged with white and sweetly fragrant. (See cut.) 

 Mixed Colors Pkt. 15c. 



Henderson's MAMMOTH VERBENAS. 



This distinct and beautiful race we originated, intro- 

 duced and named. The average trusses measure 9 to 12 

 inches in circumference and the individual florets on 

 properly grown plants over 1 inch across — or larger than 

 a 25c. silver piece. They bloom freely, are vigorous in 

 growth, and contain beautiful new colors and shades. 

 For garden beds and massing these verbenas are un- 

 rivaled; flowers of the most brilliant colors produced con- 

 tinually from spring until late in the autumn. Although 

 perennials, these form luxuriant plants and bloom the 

 first season from seed. (See cut.)
