HENDERSON'S "BRILLIANT' 



COLLECTION OF 

 GIANT FLOWERING' 



Antirrhinums or Snapdragons 



SHOWN IN COLORS ON OPPOSITE PAGE 

 These modern hybrid Antirrhinums have been elevated by popular favor from the 

 "Snapdragon" rank of common flowers to a higher level. This marked change in the 

 general estimation is the direct result of the improvements which have made the 

 Giant Flowering Antirrhinum race so highly satisfactory for gardens, bedding, bor- 

 ders, pot culture, for house decoration, forcing for winter cut flowers, etc. The plants 

 are of healthy robust growth, with deep green foliage, free and continuous blooming, 

 producing long, graceful spikes of immense and durable pure colored flowers, either 

 rich and brilliant or soft and dainty, as may be selected. Their continuous-bloom- 

 ing qualitites, ease of culture and independence of heat and drought, and pure, bright 

 colors, should entitle them to a permanent place in gardens. Although perennials 

 in the South they do splendidly when grown as annuals in the North; spring-sown 

 seed produces flowering plants by July, which continue to bloom in increasing pro- 

 fusion until frost. The flowers are nearly double the size of the older sorts. An 

 effective bed may be formed by planting the center with the tall varieties and the 

 outer rows with the semi-dwarf; planted in a combination of separate colors the 

 effect is very beautiful — although even a "Mixed" bed is a feast for the eyes; the 

 plants should be placed 9 inches apart each way. Pinching out the tops — although 

 it delays the beginning of flowering — forces the plants to branch low and ultimately 

 gives better results.

SEMI-DWARF GIANT-FLOWERING ANTIRRHINUMS 



A beautiful class extensively used in Europe for bedding. These semi-dwarf 

 varieties produce as large flowers as the tall sorts, while the plants are of compact, 

 busy growth, only a foot high, and are completely enveloped with flowers throughout 

 summer and fall. (See engraving.)

Double Flowering ANTIRRHINUM TRICOLOR 



1102 The plants bear long spikes of large Purple-red, lighted yellow and 

 white flowers; between the upper and lower lips, fantastic petals emerge 

 which give a double aspect to the flowers. About 50 per cent, will come 

 true — the balance being large-flowering singles. Pkt. 15c. 



AQUILEGIA or COLUMBINE 



Aquilegias or Columbines are among the most beautiful of hardy spring 

 and early summer flowers, and unlike many perennials the best varieties 

 are produced from seed. They are very effective when growing in the 

 herbaceous border and make charming specimens for vases and table 

 decoration. 



1150 Henderson's American Hybrid Columbine. The highest perfection attained 

 in the development of this favorite flower. The plants are extremely robust with 

 large handsome foliage; the flower stems, often 40 inches in height, earn,' magni- 

 ficent clusters of immense long-spurred, single flowers which last a long time in 

 bloom. The colors are superb, including rich shades as well as many new and deli- 

 cate tints; pure white, blue and white, pure yellow, pink with yellow corolla, red 

 with orange corolla, cerise, purple, rose and white, salmon, lavender, mauve, etc., 

 etc. The large, unique, long-spurred flowers, gracefully hung on long stems, are not 

 only brilliantly effective on the plant, but equally as desirable when cut for vase and 

 house decoration Pkt. 15c. 



1153 Chrysantha. The beautiful long-spurred yellow variety Pkt. 10c. 



1155 Bell-flowered Columbine. (Aquilegia Clemataquilla.) A beautiful new 

 spurless type producing freely large open bell-shaped flowers of many beautiful 

 colors, shades and combinations of colorings including sky blue, pink, deep blue, 

 purple, violet, lavender, white, flesh, rose, maroon, salmon, etc., in mixture Pi: i 



1157 Coerulea Hybrida. Long spurred flowers of white and blue Pkt. 10c. 



1160 Double-flowering, Long-spurred Hybrids. Beautiful lone-spurred, large, 

 double flowers, formed of several rows of cornucopia-like petals and in \ 



shades of yellow, lavender, blue, indigo and white PI 



1170 Single, Large-flowering, Mixed Colors Pkt. 5o, 



"You certainly have the finest Columbines of any of the seed houses I 

 know."
