A 



Complete 

 Flower Garden 



Either for one season 

 or permanent, may 

 be had with Hender- 

 son's Collections of 

 Annual or Hardy Perennial Flower 

 Seeds. All are offered on page 87. 



Pentstemons should be grown as half-hardy annuals, they are then a valuable 

 addition to beds and borders in summer. The seedlings produce an abund- 

 ance of scarlet and pink shades with white markings which are very 

 attractive. Pentstemons are best grown in beds, or in groups of not 

 less than twelve plants in borders, where they will give a brilliant color 

 effect. If sown indoors during February or March and planted out in 

 genial weather there will be a profusion of richly colored flowers on 

 tall spikes. Height 2 feet. 

 "Sensation." A Giant Gloxinia-flowered type; though peren- 

 nial, these bloom early the first season from spring-sown seed. 

 The graceful spikes, about 2 feet high, are bedecked with 

 flowers, two inches across, from July until frost. The colors 

 and markings are gorgeously varied from pink to scarlet and 

 maroon, all beautifully blotched and veined with other 

 colors; a large white throat further enlivens and intensifies 

 the surrounding colors. They deserve a prominent place in 



every garden Pkt. 10c. 



Hartwegii Albus. A fine new variety and the first pure 

 white Pentstemon. The plants are healthy, free growers 

 with brilliant green foliage. The flower spikes are about 

 214 feet high, branch out freely trom the base and are 

 thickly furnished with large open-throated clear white 

 flowers, though in bud and opening they are shaded cream. 

 It is a remarkably early and long-blooming variety, especially 

 effective in garden beds and borders, and when cut the 

 long spikes of white are exquisitely decorative in vases, 



etc ._. Pkt. 20c. 



Rocky Mountain Pentstemon. (P. Cyananthus.) A lovely 

 and showy species and as 

 hardy as a rock. 

 Compact spikes of 

 lovely azure- 

 blue flowers.

 "One can have no 

 trouble in order- 

 ing flower seeds 

 from your book, 

 as the colored plates 

 are so natural. One 

 can enjoy it as much as 

 any book, if one likes 

 flowers."
