Red and Gold" 



"Red Semi-Double and Collarette" 



3785 The plants are of the same branching, free-flowering habits and 

 easy culture as our "Red and Gold" Sunflower and the large flow- 

 ers, 4 to 6 inches across, have the same colorings — reds and gar- 

 nets tipped with gold and yellow. The seed we offer has been 

 saved exclusively from denselv-double, semi-double and collarette 

 flowering plants Per 100 seeds. 50c; Pkt. 25c. 



3783 The plants of Henderson's "Red and Gold" Sunflower 

 grow strong, branching to a height of 7 to 'J feet, each stem producing 

 several flowers of large size. The central stem and main branches 

 bear the large flowers — 6 to 7 inches across. The succeeding laterals 

 bear smaller flowers — 4 to 5 inches across The coloring varies from 

 golden-yellow splashed with red to nearly all red, but the great majority 

 will be Gaillardia colored — that is a wide zone of red surrounds the 

 purplish-black center, the ends or tips of the petals being of a rich golden- 

 vellow. {See illustration.) Per 'A oz., SOc; Pkt. 15c
