HENDERSON'S COLOSSAL 
TEN-WEEK STOCKS 
This magnificent strain is without a rival for 
open-ground planting, attaining a height of 2H 
feet. The spikes of bloom are very long, and the 
individual flowers are enormous in size and very 
double. 
These popular flowers are easily grown, and 
are so highly fragrant and of such great beauty, 
and have so many good qualities, that they 
deserve 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.)

BEAUTY 
STOCKS 
"Beauty” Stocks are 
also known as Large Early 
Dresden Stocks, Giant 
Nice Stocks, Cut-and- 
Come-Again Stocks, Con¬ 
tinuity Stocks, etc. This 
confusion of titles has 
caused us to decide on 
"Beauty Stocks” as appro¬ 
priate for this comparatively 
new and magnificent race which 
is bounding into popularity 
wherever grown or exhibited in 
Europe and America. 
The plants are of fine symmetrical 
habit, bushy and in flower stand about 
l ,y 2 to 2 feet in height. The numerous side 
branches each carry a tall strong spike well _ 
furnished with unusually large and very double deliciously clove-scented flowers. Among the merits 
of "Beauty” Stocks is their adaotability to many cultural conditions and their decorative effective¬ 
ness whether grown in flower beds, garden borders or as potted specimens. They do not flower as 
quickly from seed sowing as Ten-Week Stocks, the “Beauties" requiring from 12 to 15 weeks, but 
after they commence blooming their long continued profusion is phenomenal. Seeds started early 
in the spring and the seedlings transplanted in the garden in May will begin flowering in July and 
continue to bloom until frozen. Late sown plants it carefully lifted and potted in the fall will con¬ 
tinue to flower beautifully in window garden or conservatory during the winter, though when grown 
especially for winter flowering—for which “Beauty" Stocks are peculiarly adaptable—it is better 
to sow the seeds in July or August. As cut flowers ‘' Beauty ’ ’ Stocks are unsurpassable, their splen¬ 
did trusses of bloom lend themselves to table and other floral decorations. The fragrant flowers 
are of lasting substance and their refined colorings light up well under artificial light. (See cut.)
