New Giant Star Primroses*

This distinct and beautiful type should be better known, for they are un-

 clusters. The flowers of this new type are much larger than the old type 

 stellatas and of greater substance.

This comparatively new type produces the largest double flowers of any class in the Stock fam- 

 ily. The flowers are borne on long trusses standing 2 to 2\ feet above the ground. The plants 

 are of strong, healthy, robust growth and produce continuously for weeks their fine spikes of 

 splendid flowers which are also delightfully fragrant. Plants from seeds sown in the spring, 

 commence blooming in early summer and continue until cut down by frost. They, however, 

 are equally valuable as w.nter flowering plants and furnish excellent cutting material. For the 

 latter purposes sow the seeds during the summer. They commence flowering in from 12 to 15 

 weeks from seed sowing

Henderson's Mammoth Verbenas* 



This distinct and beautiful race we originated, introduced and named. The average 

 trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in circumference and the individual florets on properly 

 grown plants over 1 inch across — or larger than a 25c. silver piece. They bloom freely 

 are vigorous in growth, and contain beautiful new colors and shades. For garden beds 

 and massing these verbenas are unrivaled; flowers of the most brilliant colors produced 

 continually from spring until late in the autumn. Although perennials, these form 

 luxuriant plants and bloom the first season from seed.
