104 Marigolds, Lupinus & Lavateras Furnish a Wealth of Color 



Henderson's Selected Marigolds 



Illustrated in Colors on the Opposite. Page 



During the past few years there has been a great revival of 

 interest in the Marigold flower, and quantities of all varieties are 

 now to be seen displayed in the windows of the fashionable florists 

 of New York and in fact all our large cities. They are, of course, 

 old garden favorites, and the gardens of our greatgrandparents 

 were redolent with the scent of the Marigold. 



There are, of course, many varieties of diverse forms and 

 various colors but those we have chosen to illustrate in colors are 

 the best and most desirable. They all bear an abundance of bloom 

 and are especially valuable because they give to the autumn 

 garden a wealth of color, at a time when other flowers and plants 

 are beginning to fade away. 



Marigold, Pride of the Garden 



Henderson's Pride of the Garden. These grand African Mari- 

 golds produce densely double flowers 8 to 10 inches in circumference, 

 and of the regularity and perfection of a Dahlia. A highly meritorious 

 feature is the habit of the plants, which form dense bushes 

 2 to 3 feet high by 2 feet across. For effective garden display 

 during the summer and autumn months nothing can surpass the gor- 

 geous masses of color of these grand varieties. (See illustration.)

Selected Annual Lupinus 



(Illustrated in colors on opposite page.) 



Bushy Plants, Covered with Charmingly Colored Spikes of 



Pea-shaped Flowers 



While the perennial varieties of Lupinus are desirable flowers for the 

 herbaceous border, we think that the annual varieties offered below are 

 the most useful on account of their rapidity of growth and free-flowering 

 qualities. They are fine for mixed borders and for planting among 

 shrubs or as beds on the lawn, making a grand display for a small outlay. 

 As will be noted there are a number of charming colors in the selection 

 and some of the varieties are delicately scented. Plants of Annual 

 Lupinus attain a height of about 2 feet; are of robust branching habit ; 

 and throw out spikes covered with pea-shaped flowers for most of their 

 length. If these are cut as they mature, the plants will continue to 

 bloom for a long time. 



The leaves of the plant, too, are quite ornamental, being divided like a 

 palm leaf. They are from 4 to 7 inches in diameter, dark green and 

 satiny, and form a very handsome bush. (See illustration.)

Lavatera 

 "Sunset" Rosea Splendens 



(Illustration in colors on Opposite yage) 



A Beautiful, Robust Garden Annual, of Easy Culture 

 Should be Grown in Every Garden 



2618 The Lavateras are exceedingly popular in Europe where they are 

 generally known as Mallows. Lavatera "Sunset" is by far the 

 most striking of its kind, bearing large bowl-shaped flowers of a charm- 

 ing rose-pink color. These richly colored flowers may be cut on sterna 

 2 feet or more in length, which with their foliage make a beautiful decor- 

 ation for large vases. The flowers are borne abundantly throughout the 

 summer and fall; making Lavatera "Sunset" very desirable for beds on 

 the lawn or as border decoration. The plants form branching compact 

 bushes two to two and one-half feet in height; well furnished with 

 bronzy-green foliage and stems which make a fine foil to the shining rose- 

 pink flowers. Our friends should plant freely seeds of this beautiful 

 flowering plant. Sufficient room should be allowed for the development 

 of the plant; a space of two or three feet being not too much to allow 

 where the soil is good Pkt. 15c
