HENDERSON'S SUMMER FLOWERING 



COLLECTION OF DAISIES (A) 



(Shown in colors on front cover) 

 4785 Price one packet each 8 varieties, $1.00. 



The offering of this collection was inspired by the interest mani- 

 fested by the many thousands of enthusiastic people who saw 

 the Henderson Daisy Hill (a section of which is shown on the 

 front cover) exhibited by us at the 1940 International Flower Show 

 at the Grand Central Palace, New York. 



Daisies are among the most appealing of all flowers. They pro- 

 duce flowers in the greatest profusion over a long period of time. 

 They require no pampering; they thrive on all soils, and simply 

 luxuriate on rich soil. 



Their grace and gaiety adds much to the garden picture, and 

 their fine wiry stems and keeping qualities make them ideal for 

 cutting for table arrangements and other decorative work. Cul- 

 tural directions are printed on the seed packets.

HENDERSON'S NEW IPOMEAS 



GREATER GLORIES (A) 



Largest and Most Beautiful Morning Glories 



The selection, segregation, and hybridization of thousands of the 

 most desirable and most beautiful flowers obtained from the finest 

 strains of Imperial Hybrid Ipomeas, over a period of six years, 

 resulted in the development of a great number of hybrids, many of 

 which possessed outstanding characteristics. Through the process 

 of elimination, the six varieties offered here were finally chosen as 

 the most representative, and the most beautiful of the group. 



Besides producing a luxuriant growth, which during the course 

 of the season attains a height of from 15 to 20 feet, the plants are 

 extremely free blooming, and as is unusual with other varieties 

 of Ipomea, the flowers, which range from four to five inches in 

 diameter, are developed over the entire plant, beginning about a 

 foot from the ground. 



The plants are clothed from top to bottom with attractive three- 

 lobed leaves, which adds much to their beauty. Henderson's 

 Greater Glories are among the most desirable annual vines that 

 may grace the Gardens of America. Wherever plant material is 

 required for drapes or for screening purposes, nothing finer could 

 be desired. For garden enclosures, they will make a wall of' 

 living beauty that will be a joy throughout the summer. They 

 can be used for covering fences of every description, also stone 

 walls, dead trees, poles, etc.
