 2 feet m height. The side branches each carry a tall, strong spike well 

 furnished with large very double clove-scented flowers. Decorative, grown 

 in flower beds, garden borders or as potted specimens. They do not flower 

 as quickly from seed as Ten-week Stocks, the "Beauties" requiring from 12 

 to 15 weeks, but after they commence blooming their long-continued pro- 

 fusion is phenomenal. ■ When grown for winter flowering — it is better to sow 

 the seed in July or August. As cut flowers "Beauty" Stocks are unsur- 

 passable, the fragrant flowers are of lasting substance. Per 1,000 seeds Pkl,

HENDERSON S NEW HYBRID SUNFLOWERS 



SUNFLOWER Henderson's New Hybrid 



These gorgeous floral creations have been bred by the raiser of our original "Red 

 Sunflower." When a break of this kind occurs among plants that are; propagated by 

 seeds, it sometimes takes several years to "true up" to any selected type by the only 

 recourse, selection. Therefore variations may be expected even among the forms 

 we now catalogue. (See engraving.) 



3775 "Albino." Our "Red Sunflower" expert has, by hybridization, created this 

 new type, a "Near White." _ The large single flowers — 4 to inches across — ■ 

 are of a light-cream or yellowish- white and have broad, over -lapping petals and 

 small dark centers. The plants grow about 6 feet tall, are of upright branching 



habit Per K oz, 50c.; Pkl. 10c. 



3779 "Lilliput Hybrids." An improved race of the "Cucumerifolius" or dwarf bush 

 Sunflowers, forming sturdy, branching plants 3 to 4 f -'et high, producing con- 

 tunuously from early summer until frost, long-stemmed flowers of perfect form, 

 3 to 4 inches across. The colors vary from cream-white through various sha des 

 of yellow from primrose, to deep golden, including a good percentage of plants 

 bearing flowers zoned, tipped or ringed with red, rose, purple, etc. 



' Per 100 seeds, 25c.; Pkt. 10c. 



3782 "Old Rose and Primrose." This new type has been produced by crossing 

 a red Sunflower on the cream or primrose-colored garden variety. The result- 

 ant hybrid plants are of distinctive branching growth — almost candelabra- 

 like — attainmg a height of about 5 feet. The numerous side branches each 

 terminate with a Sunflower 5 to 6 inches across, of light primrose- yellow, broad- 

 ly zoned around the disc with a wine-rose Per yi oz.; 50c.; Pkl. 10c. 



3783 "Red and Gold." The plants grow strong a,nd branching to a height of 7 to 

 9 feet, each stem bearing several flowers of large size. The coloring varies 

 from golden yellow splashed with red to nearly ,all red, but the great 

 majority will be Gaillardia colored — that is a wide zone of red_ surrounds 

 the pvrplish-black center, the ends or tips of the petals being of a rich golden- 

 yellow color; this combination is very effective. .. i'«i' i4 oz., 50c.; Pkt. 10c. 



S78S "Semi-Double and Collarette." The plants are of the same branching, free- 

 flowering habit and easy culture as the above and the large flowers 4 to 6 inches 

 across have the same colorings — reds and garnets tipped with gold and yellow. 

 The seeds we offer have been saved exclusively from densely double, semi-double 

 flowering plants Per 100 seeds, 25c. ; Pkt. 10c.
