 from early summer until frost long-stemmed flowers 

 of perfect form, 3 to 4 inches across. The colors vary

Old Rose and Primrose 



3782 The 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 prim- 

 rose yellow, broadly zoned around the disc with wine- 

 rose. As a plant carries from 20 to 30 of these beauti- 

 ful colored flowers, the decorative effect may be imag- 

 ined Per yi oz., SOc. j Pkt. 15c. 



"Red and Gold" 



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

 grow strong, branching to a height of 7 to 9 feet, each stem producing 

 several flowers of large size. The central stem and main branches 

 bear the large flowers— 6 to 7 inches across. The succeeding 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- 

 vellow. {See illustration.) Per }4 oz.. 50c; Pkt. 15c.
