84 Plant Henderson's "Cut Flower" Collection 



(Shown in Colors on opposite page) 



Sixteen Packets of Garden Annuals $1.25 



a n CI This collection is composed of sixteen of the b st long-stemmed Annuals for 

 growing in the home garden. Many occasions arise when it is desirable to be 

 able to go into the garden and gather huge armfuls of choice -cut-flowers. It is then 

 indeed gratifying to have a large selection as offered here to choose from. All produced 

 on long stems that lend themselves to every style of artistic arrangement in either har- 

 monious or contrasting color combinations. 



Flowers purchased in a store can never be as interesting as a bouquet cut fresh from 

 your own garden. A simple vase or bowl of flowers will bring cheer and happiness into a 

 room even on the dullest day. The Helichrysums or Everlasting Flowers included in this 

 collection may be dried, and will remain bright and attractive for an entire year. 



Tnt letter prefixed to each variety is a key to the flowers shown on the color plate

Henderson's Collection of Flowers for Rockeries and Rock Gardens 



Often, aftc r clearing up new grounds, masses of stones will be present, 

 which would be difficult to dispose of, and these can be used to good 

 advantage. 



Select a partially shaded location where the ground has ordinary 

 moisture and is well-drained. Begin by placing the stones so as to allow 

 the moisture from rains to run into the garden and not away from it. 

 After placing a stone in position, work the soil in well around it in order 

 to allow the moisture to work up among the stones and give the proper 

 conditions for growing rock plants. Any air spaces that are left between 

 the stones will prevent an even degree of moisture in the garden. 



Rock gardans can be made any height desired. When building the 

 upper course, be sure that planting spaces 8 to 10 inches in diameter are 

 left so that a number of plants can be planted on the top. 



There is great scope for the imagination in laying out a rock garden, 

 and it will help the amateur considerably to study some natural rock 

 formation. If a bank or terrace already existing is utilized, loosen it up 

 with a pick axe and add more soil. Place the stones as previously recom- 

 mended.

4761 Collection of 1 packet each of the 15 varieties $2.50 postpaid. 



Preparations for a Rock Garden must be made ahead, if all the plants 

 used are Perennials which will not bloom the first year. Seeds should be 

 planted outdoors on the rock garden in the places they are to grow, early 

 in spring and up to July 15th. We strongly recommend planting Darwin 

 Tuhps and other bulbs in Rock Gardens as they provide a show in 

 springtime. (See imr Bulb Catalogue published Sept. 1st.)
