HENDERSON’S GARDEN PLANS 
AND SUGGESTIONS 
tells how to make flower gardens from seeds. 
Henderson’s Giant Double Poppies 
“BRILLIANT BLEND” 
These Annual Poppies are sturdy, luxuriant growers about 2)4 feet high, bear¬ 
ing immense double flowers 4 to 5 inches in diameter, or as large as Peonies. 
Some of the flowers have broad, round, smooth-edged petals, and are of imposing 
effect; others have laciniated and fringed edges which add a charming grace; but 
the climaxing merit of all is the wonderful variety of coloring, ranging from the 
most gorgeous down through innumerable shades to purest white; many are also 
striped, blended and edged with other colors. When grown in masses the floral pai_ _ 
rama is of almost unimagined beauty. They are of the easiest possible culture; the 
seed only needs to be sown thinly in May where the plants are to remain. 
“Brilliant Blend” Mixture. Per 1,000 seeds, 25c.; per oz., 50c.; Pkt. 10c. 
"It may interest you to know that Henderson's Giant Double Poppies were ^ 
planted alongside poppies from two other noted seed houses and yours far stir- 
passed, both in size and beauty. The colors are the prettiest unaginable; many 
people see them and say they never saw such beautiful poppies."

Henderson’S Giant Shirley Poppies 
A great advance in single annual Poppies. The flowers are immense, often 4 ^ 
inches across, the petals are fluted and crinkled and in the sunlight appear like 
rumpled satin. The plants are well branched, about 12 inches high, and bloom in 
continuous succession for weeks. There are white, white-splashed crimson, rose 
banded with white, salmon, carmine, blush, scarlet, and many splashed, striped, 
dotted, edged, etc. If cut in the bud state and the stems put in water, the flowers 
will open as well as on the plant, and the effect of a vase of Shirley Poppies is im¬ 
mensely graceful and beautiful.
