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, Pink, Price, 30c. each, $3.00 

 per doz., $20.00 per 100. Collection of 6 for $1.50. 



Henderson's New Giant Zinnia 



These grand annuals are of the Giant or Mammoth-flowering type, and are in 

 every way syperior to the old varieties. Zinnias are now seen in flower gardens 

 throughout the country, primarily because they will grow and flourish under 

 unfavorable conditions. Given a fair soil, they will bloom continuously from July 

 until frost. 



The plants grow from 2J4 to 3 feet high and are covered with myriads of densely 

 double flowers measuring from 4 to 6 inches in diameter. Giant Zinnias are one 

 of the best plants for beds, borders and cutting.

Three Popular Perennial Plants 



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 131). 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 nlamentosa (Adams Needle) 



One of the hardiest and showiest plants we 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. Price, 50c. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Bedding Petunias are indispensable for garden decoration. They con- 

 tinue to grow, bud and bloom in luxuriance until frost. The plants we 

 offer are grown from our very" finest strain of seed, producing large, single 

 flowers, blotched, striped, netted, etc., including all the Petunia colors; 

 height 1 foot. 



Price, plants from 2-inch pots 15c. each; $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 

 per 100. 



Salvia or Scarlet Sage 



Scarlet Dragon. Full-grown plants in bloom form compact bushes 3 



feet across by 3 feet high, and bloom from ground to summit. The 

 waving masses of glistening scarlet against green surroundings of lawn 



or foliage is matchless. 

 Tom-Thumb Zurich. Of dwarf, compact growth, forming oval bushes 



15 to 18 inches high, thickly studded with fine spikes of scarlet flowers. 



For bedding it is brilliantly effective, either planted alone or as a front 



row for the taller Salvias.

 attaining a height of 2K feet, the spikes of bloom are very long, and the 

 individual flowers are very double. These popular flowers are easily 

 grown, are highly fragrant and of great beauty. They deserve a place in 

 every garden.
