Henderson's Selection of 



Hardy Annual Lupinus 



Bushy Plants, Covered Avith Charmingly Colored Spikes of 

 Pea-shaped Flowers 



{Illustrated in Colors on Opposite Page) 



While the iDerennial varieties of Lupinus are desirable flowers for the herba- 

 ceous border, we think that the annual varieties shown in colors on the opposite 

 page and offered below are the most useful on account of their rapidity of growth 

 and free-flowering qualities. They are fine for mixed borders and for planting 

 among shrubs or as beds on the lawn, making a grand display for a small outlay. 

 As will be noted there are a number of charming colors in the selection and some 

 of the varieties are delicately scented. Plants of Annual Lupinus attain a 

 lieight of about two feet; are of robust branching habit; and throw out spikes 

 covered with pea-shaped flowers for most of their length. If these are cut as 

 they mature, the plants will continue to bloom for a long time. 



The leaves of the plant too, are quite ornamental, being divided like a palm 

 leaf. They are from four to seven inches, in diameter, dark green and satiny, and 

 - form a verj' handsome bush.

Lavatera 



ROSE\ 

 SPI.ENDENS 



"Sunset" 



A Beautiful, Robust Garden Annual, of Easy Culture 

 {Shown in Colors on Opposite Page) 



2618 The Lavateras are exceedingly popular in Europe where they are gen- 

 erally known as Mallow.'^. Lavatera "Sunset" is by far the most strilcing 

 of its Icind, bearing large bowl-shaped flowers of a charming rose-pink 

 color. These riciily colored flow'ers may be cut on stems two feet or more 

 in length, which with their foliage make a beautiful decoration for large 

 vases. The flowers are borne abundantly throughout the summer and 

 fall; making Lavatera "Sunset" very desirable for beds on the lawn or a.? 

 border decoration. The plants form branching compact bushes two to 

 two and one-half feet in height; well furnished with bronzy-green foliage 

 and stems which make a flne foil to the shining rose-pink flowers. Our 

 friends should plant freely seeds of this beautiful flowering plant. Suffi- 

 cient room should be allowed for the development of the plant; a space 

 of two or three feet being not too much to allow where the soil is good.

HENDERSON'S SELECTED MARIGOLDS 



FURNISH A WEALTH OF COLOR FOR THE AUTUMN GARDEN 



{Shown in Colors on the Opposite Page) 



During the past few years there has been a great revival of interest in the Marigold flower, and quantities of all varieties are now to be seen displayed in the 

 windows of the fashionable florists of New York and in fact all our large cities. They are of course old garden favorites, and the gardens of our great- 

 grandparents were redolent with the scent of the Marigold. 



There are of course many varieties of diverse forms and various colors but those we have chosen to illustrate in colors are the best and most desirable. 

 They all bear an abundance of bloom and are especially valuable because they give to the autumn garden a v/ealth of color, at a time when other flowers and plants 

 are beginning to fade away. 



Henderson's Pride of the Garden prod\ices large self-colgred blooms on robust plants, the French varieties give smaller flowers but show very ornamental 

 stripings and markings while the Little Brownie or Tom Thumb class are very effective for ribbon borders or as edgings to beds of taller flowers. 



MARIGOLD, PRIDE OF THE GARDEN 



Henderson's Pride of the Garden. These grand African Marigolds produce 

 densely double flowers 8 to 10 inches in circumference, and of the regularity and 

 perfection of a Dahlia. A highly meritorious feature is the compact, dwarf 

 habit of the plants, which form dense bushes only 15 to IS inches high by 2 

 feet across. For effective garden display during the summer and autumn 

 months nothing can surpass the gorgeous masses of color of these grand varieties
