Henderson's Tall Giant Flowering 



Their continuous-blooming qualities, ease of culture, and pure bright colors entitle 

 them to a permanent place in gardens, also for forcing for cut flowers in winter. Although 

 perenn.als in the South, they do splendidly when grown as annuals in the North; spring sown 

 seed produces flowering plants by July, which continue to bloom in increasing profusion until 

 frost. The flowers are nearly double the size of the older sorts. When planted in beds the 

 plants should be placed 9 inches apart each way, pinching out the tops. This forces the 

 plants to branch low and ultimately gives better results. (See colored plate, page 86)
