Everblooming Hollyhocks, 



HENDERSON'S ANNUAL. 

 These grand annual sfngle 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. Pkt., 10 cts. 



Petunia, Quadricolor, 



New Mammoth Single. 



Quadricolor 



This is a remarkably 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 

 and the throat is blood red. Radi- 

 ating from the throat in a large 

 proportion of the blooms are Ave 

 handsome yellow blotches, making 

 a more or less regular star, and 



producing a decidedly novel and interesting effect. The color combination is v 

 of the petal is exquisite and indicates high breeding. Packet, 20 cents; 3 packets, 



New Giant Sweet Sultans, 



While this new and royal form of 

 Sweet Sultans may be nothing more 

 nor less than a very large type of 

 what I have been selling for years, 

 still there are some florists who 

 claim that it is a totally novel and 

 distinct strain. It certainly out 

 -classes its predecessors in size of 

 § plant and boldness of flower. The 

 plant attains a height of 4 or 5 feet. 

 The immense white, fragrant blos- 

 soms are borne on stems sometimes 

 2 feet long. They make magnificent 

 cut flowers, lasting for several days 

 in water. Pkt., 10 cts.; 8 pkts., 25 cts. 



New Yellow Phlox, Isabellina. 



A splendid, new, dwarf annual 

 phlox, with large, bright primrose 

 yellow flowers. Very showy. It is 

 of compact growth and free flower- 

 ing habit. Quite novel and distinct, 

 and of great promise. Packet, 10 cts. 



Dianthus. Punctatus. 



(Princess Pinks.) 



ery pleasing, and the veining 

 50 cents. 



New Yellow Phlox, Isabellina. 



A most beautiful single annual pink, with medium sized fringed flowers, 

 which are mottled, spotted and flaked in the greatest diverity of colors, no two 

 flowers being alike. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



Dianthus, Marvelous, 



The same as Dianthus Wonderful or Fringed 

 Pink. A remarkable and distinct new Fringed 

 Japanese Pink. The plants grow from 12 to 15 

 inches high, and produce large flowers 3 to 4 

 inches across, on stiff, upright stems. From a 

 third to a half of the flower seems to consist of 

 graceful fringes, turned and twisted in all direc- 

 tions, giving an appearance both pretty and 

 unique. There is a wide color range. Dianthus 

 Marvelous affords desirable material for bou- 

 quets, and cannot be excelled for bedding or bor- Vfig} 

 der purposes. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



Balsam, Goliath, 



(Lady's Slipper.) 



This is a new balsam or lady's slipper of re- 

 markably robust growth, throwing up a main 

 stem, often 4 feet high. The lower portion of the 

 viJ>^ * 5 ^aHs==>- stem is well covered with side branches, giving 



the plant a stuidy bush form. All branches are filled with very large double flowers of a salmon 

 pink color, producing an effect as rich as it is charming. Goliath carries the largest and most 

 perfect flowers yet developed in this old-fashioned beddiDg plant, and it should find a place this 

 year in all annual gardens. All the balsams rejoice in good soil, and are improved by being once 

 or twice transplanted from the original seed bed. This new variety should have ample space, 

 as it occupies much room with lateral branches Packet, 10 cts.; 1/ l ounce, 30 cts.; ounce, S1.00.
