Florists 



in every State in the Union 

 find it profitable ,to grow 



Henderson's Flower Seeds 



The demand for high quality annual and perennial cut 

 flowers, including the old popular sorts as well as the nooelties 

 has increased the profits of Florists, by stimulating trade during 

 the summer and autumn months. 



It is not unusual for Growers to net $2000.00 or more per acre 

 during the summer months from a field of Henderson's Invinci- 

 ble Asters. (See No. 2 on this page). Large profits are also 

 made from Henderson's Giant Zinnias (see No. 5). See also 

 Giant Dahlia Flowered Zinnias on page 37 in this catalogue. 

 Another annual to which we wish to call particular attention 

 on account of its very desirable cutting qualities is the New 

 Early Flowering Double Crested Cosmos, (see No. 6). 



There are many easily grown annuals for which a good 

 demand might be created, for instance: Clarkia Elegans or 

 Rocky Mountain Garland Flower is an excellent cut flower. 

 Its graceful slender branches and dainty almond-like blossoms 

 remain in perfect condition for several days when cut, and is 

 very satisfactory. We also offer an especially good strain of 

 Calendula now very popular. Also greatly improved varieties 

 of Snapdragon. Our Tall Giant strain is the result of years of 

 selection in the endeavor to produce fully garnished spikes. 

 (See No. 1 on this plate). Our strain of Beauty or "Giant 

 Nice" Stocks, (see No. 4), is well known to Florists as also is 

 Henderson's Selected' Spencer Sweet Peas, (see No. 3). While 



much depends on the culture, superior flowers can only be 

 obtained from the highest quality seeds. It is for 

 this reason, that America's Leading Florists are /III 

 numbered among our customers. !«••'
