Ljrana ^Mixture of Jnay-^flowerbTjC] (tulips 



Giant Darwin Mixture 



The charm and gaiety of springtime is particularly fascinating be- 

 cause it enters upon the scene so unobtrusively; at first with a few 

 timid little Snowdrops, which are quickly followed with the more color- 

 ful Crocus; then the Daffodils, Early Tulips, and other spring flowers. 

 The grand crescendo — the glorious climax of harmonious color, how- 

 ever, reaches its pinnacle with the maj estic May-Flowering Darwin Tulips. 



These are by all odds the essence of springtime! It is the May- 

 Flowering Tulips that dispel all thoughts of drabness, and give buoy- 

 ancy to the spirit; they are supreme as springtime morale builders. 





Henderson's Grand Mixture is exceptional, being made up entirely 

 of named varieties. Many choice sorts are included to produce a 

 great variety of colors, tones and shades, which blend so perfectly 

 that a lovely, harmonious effect is obtained over an extended period. 

 Very effective for beds or border planting. A few clumps of a dozen 

 or more planted at random will add springtime charm to the perennial 

 border. They are also ideal for foreground or foundation plantings, 

 for mass planting, or for naturalizing. Price, $1.25 per doz.; $9.00 

 per 100; $85.00 per 1000. 



A Salute to the Victory Garden

 will be finished flowering before the tender varieties of food 

 crops must be planted.
