Henderson's ROYAL Collection 



of new rust proof 

 Giant Flowering Antirrhinum 



(Antirrhinum Maximum Grandiflorum) 

 Shown in Colors on Front Cover 



With these new rust proof strains successful results may be en- 

 joyed, where -ordinary snapdragons have failed. The flowers 

 average about twice the size of those previously offered, and under 

 favorable conditions will produce well set spikes of flowers two 

 to three feet long. 



Although perennials in the South, they do splendidly when grown 

 as annuals in the North; spring sown seed produces flowering plants 

 by July, which continue to bloom in increasing profusion until 

 frost. They are magnificent for flower arrangements.

DWARF HYACINTH FLOWERED (Rust Proof) 



Antirrhinums have been more rapidly improved than any other garden flower, 

 and are grown everywhere. The Hyacinth flowered are a great improvement 

 over the ordinary dwarf sorts- The great size and perfect form of the individual 

 bloom combined with ideal symmetry of the spike are its main characteristics. 

 A beautiful variety for beds or borders, height 1 foot.* Seed is sown in the open 

 ground in May to- flower in July, but a better way is to start seeds indoors in 

 March and transplant outdoors when ready.

New Sensation Cosmos 



Shown in Colors on Page 28 



The Sensation type of Cosmos is today the favorite for cut flower use. 

 The fact that the flowers are of immense size, 4 to 5 inches or more in 

 diameter, with broad heavy fluted petals which slightly overlap, giving 

 a very full single flower, make it ideal for cut flower use. These large 

 flowers are carried on very long strong stems and are freely produced on 

 plants which reach a height of 3 to 4 feet and have a fairly heavy 

 growth of foliage. The flowers are produced within 8 to 10 weeks from 

 the time the seed is sown. While the flowers are large enough for any 

 ordinary use, some may prefer to disbud for even larger blooms.

DELPHNIUM 

 NEW PACIFIC STRAIN HYBRIDS 



(Shown in colors on page 28) 



2101 This is the Vetterle & Reinelt strain which is now universally 

 accepted as the finest strain of Hybrid Delphiniums in cultiva- 

 tion. It produces not only huge individual flowers and spikes 

 which have been bred for balance and grace, as well as for color, 

 but it also possesses a vigorous mildew resisting constitution. 

 The colors range from pure glistening white, through myriads 

 of tints and tones of lavender and blue, from the most delicate 

 coerulean to the deepest ultramarine. The rich purples are sub- 

 lime. 



Price, pkt., mixed colors, 50c. 



ZINNIA, FANTASY 



The strikingly attractive, shaggy-petaled flowers, 3 inches in 

 diameter, are borne on long, strong stems. Picking the blooms 

 freely causes the plants to branch and increase the production of 

 flowers and those forming at an angle hold that position without 

 drooping.
