NEW HYBRID SUNFLOWE 
S 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 long 
in water. 
HENDERSON’S NEW HYBRID SUNFLOWEBS are as easily grown from seed as any other annual Sunflower—the 
round when warm enough—or it may be started in the house or 
in a sunny position. ‘The seed may be sown in the open 
thrive in almost any soil 
ot bed. The plants com- 
mence flowering in about 8 weeks from seed sowing, and should not stand nearer than 3 feet apart for best development. 
Old Rose and Primrose 
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 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 
f with wine-rose. As a plant carries from 20 to 30 of these beauti- 
fully colored flowers, the decorative effect may be imagined.

“Red and Gold” 
The plants of Henderson’s “Red and Gold’ Sunflower grow 
strong, branching to a height of 7 to 9 feet, each stem producing 
several large flowers of large size. The central stem and main 
branches bear the larger flowers—6 to 7 inches across. The suc- 
ceeding laterals 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 combina- 
tion is very rich and effective. (See illustration.)
