HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



GIANT COSMOS 



The Glory of the Autumn Garden. 

 These are the latest developments in this favorite autumn-flowering annual; 

 the flowers are giants, often 4 to 5 inches across. The petals are broad and 

 overlapping, and of splendid substance. For cutting this is one of the finest 

 flowers grown. The long stems and feathery foliage lend themselves to graceful 

 arrangements. The plants, 5 to 6 feet high, are of symmetrical, pyramidal form.

EARLY COSMOS. T^wWng. 



Unfortunately, large-flowering Cosmos do not bloom until late in the season. 

 This new early-flowering strain begins to bloom scatteringly in June, the quantity 

 increasing gradually until August, and from that time until frost the plants are 

 a mass of flowers. The flowers are smaller and the plants are dwarfer than the 



late-flowering Cosmos offered above, 

 forming compact bushes only 4 

 feet high. The colors are 

 white, crimson and pink, 

 which we offer only in 

 Mixed Colors.

 DOUBLE DAISY 



(Bellis Perennis Maxima, fl. pi.) 



Greatly improved varieties of the popular 

 "Double Daisies." Admirably adapted for 

 edgings, borders and low beds, and also well 

 suited for growing in pots. Although peren- 

 nials, they will flower the same season if the 

 seed is sown early, though it is_ preferable to 

 sow in fall, and winter the plants in coldf rames.

BELLIS PERENNIS MONSTROSUS. 

 These new "Double" Daisies surpass all 

 strains of this popular hardy plant in 

 strong robust growth and abundance of 

 large bloom. Each plant produces 12 to 15 

 flowers that measure two to three inches 

 across, carried on long strong stems. The 

 flowers being so very double they produce 

 but little seed. We can offer two colors,
