HENDEKSON'S GIANT PANSIES. 



Pansies grown from seed sown early in the autumn make larger plants and produce larger 

 flowers the following spring, than when grown from spring sown seed. We sow Pansy seed in 

 the open ground seed bed in August ; set the seedlings in permanent location as soon as large 

 enough in September, where they form good sized plants before frost. In November or Decem- 

 ber, salt hay or leaves are placed over the plants about three inches deep. This treatment gives 

 splendid robust early flowering plants. If the seed is sown later, the young seedlings had better 

 be wintered over in a cold frame.

BELLIS, or DOUBLE DAISY. 



Greatly improved varieties of the popular " Double Daisies." Admirably adapted for 

 edgings, borders and low beds, and also well suited for growing in pots. Although perennials, 

 they will flower the same season if the seed is sown early, though it is preferable to sow in fall 

 and winter the plants in cold frames. \ foot.

Myosotis, or " Forget-Me-Nots." 



Ruth Fischer. This splendid Forget-me-not created a sensation last season, and 

 took first prizes at the shows in Berlin, Dresden, Ghent and Mannheim. The 

 plant is of compact habit with glossy dark green foliage, above which are 

 carried on sturdy stems large clusters of immense pure Forget-me-not blue 

 flowers, lj inches across, or larger than those of any other known Myosotis. 

 The plants of unusual hardiness, withstanding zero weather, are in conse- 

 quence especially valuable for spring betiding effects. They also make fine 

 pot plants, forcing easily Pkt. 15c 



Triumph. A robust-growing, large-flowering Forget-me-not. It commences 

 to bloom in from 6 to 8 weeks from seed-sowing and continues to bloom until 

 checked by frost. The individual flowers are large and are borne in clusters 

 on long graceful stems, rendering them very useful for cutting. Color, 

 bright turquoise-blue with yellow eye Pkt. 10c 



Winter Flowering Sweet Peas. 



A distinct class that has become popular for greenhouse forcing. They begin 

 flowering in from 8 to 12 weeks from seed sowing and flower continuously for 

 weeks. The flowers are of fine size on long stems. Grown in the garden they 

 flower very early, but are smaller.
