HENDERSON S GIANT SINGLE PETUNIA 



PETUNIA, HENDERSON'S GIANT SINGLE 



Petunias are almost indispensable for garden decoration. They flower in a 

 few weeks' time from seed and continue to grow and bloom in luxuriance until 

 frost. Our strain of Giants of California is of incomparable beauty and size. 

 Most of the flowers are exquisitely ruffled or fringed on the edges, and all are 

 of enormous dimensions, 4 to 5 inches across, but their great merits lie in the 

 tremendous variety of colors, shades and markings, in most beautiful com- 

 binations. (See engraving)

PETUNIA, DOUBLE SELF-SEEDING 



3330 This new strain is unique from the fact that the double flowers produce 

 seed insuring a larger percentage of double-flowering plants (about 60 

 per cent.) than can be raised from singles artificially pollenized from 

 double flowers, which is necessary in producing all other Double Petu- 

 nias from seed. The flowers of these Double Self-seeding Petunias are 

 large — double — and include a variety of different colors Pkt. 50c. 



HENDERSON S GIANT DOUBLE PETUNIA 



PETUNIA, HENDERSON'S GIANT DOUBLE 



"GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA" 



These are as large as Hollyhocks, and very double. The edges are fringed, 

 petals fluted and crinkled, intensifying and varying the colors with high lights 

 and dark shadows, bringing out a richness and effect unmatched by crumpled 

 velvet, which the flowers resemble. There is a variety of colors — selfs, 

 blotched, veined, margined, etc.; in short, these Double Petunias are unsur- 

 passed by any other strain in the world. (See engraving)

NOTR. — This strain of Double-flowering Petunias do not produce seed. 

 The Pollen from the doubles is transferred to the chosen singles which produce 

 the seed', in consequence only about one-third of the progeny will be double- 

 flowering plants, and these in the seedling stage are always the weaklings of the 

 batch and are the ones to be coddled.

PENTSTEMON 



These should be grown as half-hardy annuals; they are then a valuable 

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

 dance of scarlet and pink shades with white markings which are very attrac- 

 tive. 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 they 

 will flower profusely the following summer. Heieht 2 feet.

 spikes, about 2 feet high, are bedecked with floweres, 2 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; They deserve a prominent place in every 

 garden Pkt. 10c.
