HENDERSON’S LARGE-FLOWERING 
Perfection Sweet William. 
For many years the Sweet William has been esteemed 
as one ot the finest of our hardy garden plants, being 
of easy culture, thriving in any good garden soil and 
lasting for years. The plants grow about 1 foot high 
and form fine clumps. Our improved Perfection 
strains produce in greatest profusion very large florets 
in large heads and of a great variety of extremely 
rich colors, including blood-crimson, salmon, pink, 
white, cerise, etc. — many having large white eyes, and 
all being deliciously sweet scented. (See cut.) 
Harlequin. Large flowers of several colors are produced 
on the same plant. Sometimes a head will be all crim¬ 
son, another all pink, another white, etc., but usually 
florets of different colors will be borne in one head; 
very unique and beautiful.. Pkt. 10c

New Annual Sweet William. 
(Dianthus Barbatus Annuus.) 
One of the finest novelties of the season. The old 
favorite Sw r eet William, as all know, does not flower 
until the second year from seed, but this new type 
commences blooming in early summer from spring- 
sown seed and continues in flower for several weeks. 
The plants are of the same habit as the perennial kinds, 
producing fine heads of bloom of various colors—white, 
crimson, rose-pink, etc., many of which are broadly 
edged with white and sweetly fragrant. (See cut.) 
Henderson's MAMMOTH VERBENAS. 
Mixed Colors 
Pkt. 15c. 
This distinct and beautiful race we originated, intro¬ 
duced 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 un¬ 
rivaled; flowers of the most brilliant colors produced ct i 
tinually from spring until late in the autumn. Although 
perennials, these form luxuriant plants and bloom the 
first season from seed. (See cut.)
