SUNFLOWER 



Henderson's New Hybrid 



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

 Sunflower." When a horticultural break of this kind occurs among plants that 

 can only be 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, while some oT these "off types" 

 may come "too much" yellow. Yet all will be showy and desirable — with the 

 possibility of some unique and beautiful freak appearing, thus adding to the pleasur- 

 able interest in watching Henderson's New Hybrid Sunflowers grow. 



3776 "Albino." Our "Red Sunflower" expert has, by hybridization, created this 

 new type, a "Near White." The large single flowers — 4 to 6 inches across — 

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

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

 branching habit Per y 2 oz., 50c; Pkl. 10c. 



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

 Sunflowers, forming sturdy, branching plants 3 to 4 feet high, and producing 

 freely and continuously from early summer until frost, long-stemmed flowers 

 of perfect form, 3 to 4 inches across. The colors vary from cream-white 

 through various shades 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; Pkl. 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 resultant 

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

 attaining a height of about 5 feet. The numerous side branches each terminate 

 with a Sunflower 5 to 6 inches across, of light primrose-yellow, broadly zoned 

 around the disc with wine-rose Per y 2 oz., 50c; Pkl. 10c. 



3783 "Red and Gold." The plants of Henderson's "Red and Gold" Sunflower 

 grow strong, sturdy and branching to a height of 7 to 9 feet, producing several 

 large flowers of refined form. 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 purplish-black center, the ends or tips 

 of the petals being of a rich golden-yellow color; this combination is very rich 

 and effective. {See engraving.) Per y 2 oz., 50c; Pkl. 10c. 



3786 "Semi-Double and Collarette." The plants are of the same branching, free- 

 flowering habits and easy culture as our "Red and Gold" Sunflower 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 and collarette flowering plants.
