IMPERIAL SWEET SULTAN. 



HENDERSON'S 



Colossal Ten-Week Stocks. 



This magnificent strain is without a rival for open-ground planting, 

 attaining a height of 21 feet. The spikes of bloom art' very long, and 

 the individual flowers arc enormous in size and very double. 



These popular flowers are easily grown, and are so highly Flagrant and 

 of such great beauty, and have so many good (nudities, that they de 

 serve a place in every garden. They should be given good rich soil to 

 grow in, and will amply reward good treatment with remarkably large 

 pyramids of bloom; the flowers represent a great diversity of brilliant 

 color. (See cut.)

/ am greatly pleased with the Colossal Ten-weeks' Stocks raisi-d from 

 seal bought of you. They bloomed beautifully from early summer until the 

 present time (Stov. 3), but none of them went to seed, so I have ordered an 

 other pac ket, as I do not know of a flower which possesses more merits "
