HENDERSON’S ANNUAL 
Everblooming Hollyhocks. — 
These grand annual single and double hollyhocks mark a new era. ¢ 
Seeds planted under glass will bloom in July, and seeds sown in the 
open garden in May will produce flowers in August. The floral shapes 
and sizes differ; some are 5 inches across. The color range is wonder- 
ful—maroon, black, pink, rose, canary, yellow, crimson, apricot with 
garnet throat, blush with carmine lacings, white, scarlet, magenta, 
etc., in endless combination. The 
plants are vigorous and of branch- 
ing habit, and may be shaped by 
pinching off the shoots. They flow- 
er profusely until frost. Remem- 
ber, these new hollyhocks are an- 
nuals. Packet, 10 cents. 
New Mammoth Single Petunia, 
Quadricolor, 
This is aremarkably fine addition 
to the class of giant flowered single 
petunias. The four colors implied 
in the name are bright rose, lus- ~ \\ 
trous carmine, deep blood red and 
a decided yellow. The outer por- ) 
tion is rose, the veins are carmine // NY 
and the throat is blood red. Radi- / 5 } 
ating from the throat in a large 
proportion of the blooms are five handsome yellow blotches, making a more or less regular star, and 
¥ producing a decidedly novel and interesting effect. This is one of the most original and striking floral novel- 
ties on the market, and will be hailed with delight by all lovers of petunias. The color combination is very 
pleasing, and the veining of the petal is exquisite and indicates high breeding. It is different from any of 
the so-called star petunias, and has a place of its own. Packet, 25 cents. 
NASTURTIUMS, 
Variegated Leaved. 
NEW TALL VARIEGATED QUEEN. See illustra- 
tion of aleaf. The plant has a most striking 
aspect, aS each leaf is variegated in a dis- 
tinetly different degree with yellow, white 
and green, so that no two appear alike. The 
leaves are not quite as large as the ordinary 
tall varieties, yet the plant is of very vigor- 
ous growth and should be allowed ample 
room for development, as more variegations 
appear to be where the plant has the most 
room. The flowers are of a charming shade | mT 
of rich scarlet maroon, deeper in color at ¥ vil a y 
base of petal. Comes entirely true from seed. Yl ii
