— NEW HARDY = 

 RED SUNFLOWER. 



This sensational novelty was produced 

 by crossing the hardy Sunflower, Helian- 

 thus MultiBorus, with an Echinacea. It 

 grows 5 to 6 feet high and when estab- 

 lished bears during the season from 20 

 to 30 gigantic flowers 5 to 8 inches across, 

 bright red on the face, contrasting vividly 

 with the yellow centre. The flowers re- 

 tain their full beauty on the plant for 2 

 to 3 weeks This gigantic red Sunflower 

 will be of great value for the hardy gar- 

 den and herbaceous border, is of scarcely 

 less importance as a decorative cut flower 

 and may be cut with stems 18 to 24 

 inches long. Plants from seeds sown 

 early in the spring may flower a little 

 towards fall, but it is not until the second 

 year and thereafter that full perfection 

 can be expected. 60 to 70 percent, come 

 true from seed. (See cut.) Pkt. 25c. 



Henderson's Colossal Ten-Week Stocks. 



This magnificent strain is without a rival for open-ground planting, attaining a height of 2i 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 pjTamids of bloom; the flowers 

 represent a great diversity of brilliant color. (See cut.)

 "I am greatly pleased with the Colossal Ten-weeks' Stocks raised from seed bought of you. They bloomed 

 beautifully from early summer until the present 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."
