HENDERSON'S 



Superb" Double Hollyhocks 



This grand strain of Hollyhocks we have secured only after years of careful 

 selection. We grow annually thousands of these, and have for years selected 

 those that show the most perfect form, largest size and purest color. In the whole 

 range of hardy garden plants there were none more majestic, gayer in appearance 

 or more generous in blooming. (See illustration.) We offer the following colors: 

 Purple, Crimson, White. Salmon, Yellow, Rose, Pink, Blush, Maroon, 

 White with Violet Center. Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100. 

 Collection of 10 for $2.50. 



Tritoma Pfitzerii 



An improved variety of the "Red Hot 

 Poker Plant" or "Torch Lily." It flowers 

 continuously throughout the season. Large 

 spikes of brilliant flame color, rich yellow at 

 base, with long stalks gracefully posed above 

 the rich green foliage. A bed of this in bloom 

 is a grand sight : a border of it around Cannas 

 is admirable. (See illustration on page 134.) 

 Price, 35c. each ; $3.50 per doz. 



Valeriana Officinalis 



Hardy Garden Heliotrope 

 This' plant was greatly prized in old- 

 fashioned hardy gardens for its strong helio- 

 trope fragrance. Produces showy heads of 

 rose-tinted white flowers during June and 

 July. Price, 35c each; $3.50 per doz. 



Yucca filamentosa 



Adams Xeedle 

 One of the hardiest and showiest plants w^ 

 have. The flower spikes are borne in huge 

 panicles above the sword-shaped foliage, 

 which in itself has a sub-tropical effect. The 

 large, white, waxy blooms are drooping in 

 habit, and the plant, whether in bloom or 

 not, presents a highly ornamental effect. It 

 can be used to advantage in any situation. 

 (See illustration.) Price, 50c. each; $5.00 

 per doz.
