Henderson’s 
New Hybrid Sunflowers 
These gorgeous floral creations have been bred by the 
raiser of our original ‘‘Red Sunflower.’’ When a horticul- 
tural break of this kind occurs among plants that can only 
be propagated by seeds, it sometimes takes several years to 
“true up” to.any selected type by the only recourse, selec- 
tion. herefore variations may be expected even among 
the forms we now catalogue, while some of these ‘‘off types’ 
neat come ‘‘too much”’ yellow. Yet all will be showy and 
desirable—with the possibility of some unique and beauti- 
ful freak appearing, thus adding to the ceurable interest 
in watching Henderson's New Hybrid Sunflowers grow. 
HENDERSON'S NEW HYBRID SUNFLOWERS are 
lendid garden annuals, quick and robust in growth, very 
showy in the garden border or in groups or as hedges—and 
the long-stemmed flowers when cut and vased are most 
effective and last long in water. 
HENDERSON'S EW HYBRID SUNFLOWERS 
are as easily grown from seed as any other annual Sun- 
flower—they thrive in almost any soil in a sunny position. 
The seed may be sown in the open ground when warm 
enough—or it may be started in the house or hot bed. 
The plants commence flowering in about 8 weeks from seed 
sowing, and should not stand nearer than 3 feet apart for 
best development. 
Henderson’s Old Rose and Primrose 
Sunflower 
$782 This new type has been produced by crossing a red 
Sunflower on the cream or pelmaroge colored garden 
variety. The resultant hybrid plants are of distinctive , 
branching growth—almost candelabra-like, attaining f 
a height of about 5 feet, The numerous side branches 
each terminate with a Sunflower 5 to 6 inches across, 
of light primrose-yellow, broadly zoned around the 
disc with wine-rose. As a plant carries from 20 to 30 
of these beautifully colored flowers, the decorative 
effect may be imagined. Per %4 oz., 50c.; Pkt. 10c.
