HENDERSON'S COLOSSAL. 
Ten-Week 
Stocks. 
LARGE-FLOWERING 
"Continuity” Stocks. 
This comparatively new type produces the 
largest double flowers of any class in the Stock 
family. The flowers are borne on long trusses 
standing 2 to 2J- 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 delight¬ 
fully 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 winter flower¬ 
ing pot plants and furnish excellent cutting 
material. For the latter purposes sow the 
seeds during the summer. They commence flow¬ 
ering in from 12 to 15 weeks from seed sowing.

Princess Alice. 
The plants grow about 2 feet high, producing continuously from early 
summer to late in the fall beautifully shaped double white flowers, which 
encircle the center spike as well as numbers of side branches splendid 
for cutting, and the oftener they are cut the better they seem to like 
it. Per 1,000 seeds, 50c. Pkt. 10c. 
STOKES1A CYANEA, 
The Hardy Blue "Cornflower" Aster. 
This beautiful hardy perennial plant is not so well known as it deserves to 
be. No garden, large or small, should be without it. As a single specimen 
or group in the herbaceous border it makes for itself a place that cannot be 
filled by any other hardy plant, while for beds or masses of any size it is very 
attractive. It is of the easiest culture, blooming the first year from seed, and suc¬ 
ceeding in any open sunny position. The plants grow from 18 to 24 inches high and 
begin flowering in July, continuing without interruption till late in October to produce 
their handsome lavender-blue cornflower-like blossoms, 4 to 5 inches across, on long stems, 
rendering them highly valuable for cutting, supplying a shade of color not overplentiful 
at any season of the year. (See cut.) Pkt. 10c. 
This magnificent strain is without a rival for open- 
ground planting, attaining a height of 2£ 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 flow¬ 
ers represent a great diversity of brilliant color. (See 
CIU.)

“ / am greatly pleased with the Colossal Ten- 
weeks’ Stocks raised from seed bought of you. They 
bloomed beautifully from early summer until the pres¬ 
ent time (Nov. 3), but none of them went to seed, so 
I have ordered another packet, as / do not know of a 
dower which possesses more merits.”
