 the retail trade, or finished plants or cut flowers for the market, you will find it profitable to grow hHenderson's Selected Strains. They 

 ore backed by a reputation dating back since 1847, yet they are as new and up to date as the City of Tomorrow. We furnish Florists and 

 Market Growers for their own planting packets of Flower Seeds from our Retail Catalog at 25 per cent off. A copy of our retail catalog 

 "Everything for the Garden" will be mailed on request.

1053 — VIOLET QUEEN. The flowers of

 and enduring as the familiar white 

 varieties. At our trial grounds we have 

 counted as many as two hundred flow- 

 ers on a plant at one time. or. $1.25
