Pender ing New Hybrid 
SUNFLOWERS 
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 
syen among the forms we now catalogue, while some of these “off 
type s'’ 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 pleasurable interest in watching 
Henderson’s New Hybrid- Sunflowers grow. HENDERSON'S 
NEW HYBRID SUNFLOWERS are splendid garden annuals, 
quick and robust in growth, very showy in the garden border or in 
groups or as hedges—and the long- stemmed flowers when cut and 
vased are most effective and last Tong i in water. 
HENDERSON’S NEW HYBRID SUNFLOWERS are as eas- 
ily grown from.seed as any other annual Sunflower—they thrive in 
almost any soil in a sunny position. The seed may be sown in the 
open ground when warm enough—or it may be started in the 
house or hot bed. The plants commence flowering in about 8 weeks 
from seed sowing, and should not stand nearer than 3 feet apart for 
best development. 
HENDERSON'S 
“RED AND GOLD” SUNFLOWER 
3783 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 ray petals are wide and 
long, the dise or center small. The central stem and main branches 
bear the larger flowers—6 to The succeeding lat- 
erals bear smaller flowers—4 to 5 inches across. 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

HENDERSON’S 
“OLD ROSE AND PRIMROSE” SUNFLOWER 
3782 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 dis- 
tinctive 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 dise

flowers, the decorative effect may be imagined. Per 
Henderson’s “ALBINO” SUNFLOWER 
3775 Our ‘‘Red Sunflower” expert has, by hybridization, created this new 
type, a “Near White.” The large single lowers—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, throwing long side stems in succession, each carrying its lovely “White 
Sunflower.” The plants therefore continue in bloom for an unusually long 
period and are very attractive for garden decoration. An annual variety 
and as easily and quickly grown from seed as any other Sunflower.
