HENDERSON’S 
SPECIAL OFFER OF SEEDS FOR FLOWER BEDS 
(Shown in Colors on Opposite Page) 
To demonstrate in a practical manner the possibilities of 
garden designs by sowing flower seeds in various combina- 
tions, we have had the beds shown on the oppoiste page in 
colors, also those illustrated on this page, grown at our 
Experimental Grounds in Jersey City and photographed. 
As may be seen, very beautiful effects may be obtained at 
small cost, compared with the large outlay required when 
beds are filled with bedding plants purchased from florists.
