they were creamy when opening <br> but turned white when fully developed; it was most conspicuous and striking; <br> the petals were long the center small and it appeared like a mammoth Daisy <br> The plants of Henderson's Red and Gold Sunflower grow strong and sturdy <br> to a height of 7 to 9 feet -according to the richness of the soil and the sunny <br> warmth of location producing several large flowers of refined form the rays <br> wide and long the disc or center small The coloring varies from golden-yellow <br> splashed with red to nearly all xed but the <br> great majority will be Gaillardia colored <br> that is a wide or narrow zone of red sur- <br> rounds the purplish-black center the ends or <br> tips of the petals being of a rich golden-yel- <br> low color; this combination is very rich and <br> effective Of course a small proportion of <br> the plants may produce all yellow flowers <br> but even these will be showy and desirable <br> See cut PRICE PER PACKET 15c; <br> PER 1 000 SEEDS 75c <br> HENDERSON'S NEW <br> Wine and Primrose Sunflower <br> SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE <br> This new type has been produced by crossing a red Sunflower on the cream or <br> primrose colored garden variety The resultant hybrid plants are of distinctive <br> branching growth -almost candelabra-like attaining a height of about 5 feet <br> The numerous side branches each terminate with a Sunflower 4 to 5 inches across <br> of light primrose or cream-yellow broadly zoned around the disc with wine-red <br> As a plant carries from 20 to 30 of these beautifully colored flowers the glorious <br> decorative effect may be imagined See cut PRICE PER PACKET 25c; <br> PER 1 000 SEEDS SI 00 <br> HENDERSON'S NEW <br> I\ed Lilliput Sunflower <br> SHOWN IN COLOFkS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE <br> This small-flowering dwarf bush Sunflower -while perhaps the least desirable <br> of Henderson's trio of red Sunflowers -is most unique and novel The plants <br> form compact bushes 2 to 3 feet in height and of about the same diameter <br> The hundreds of little branches carry each a miniature Sunflower 2 to 3 inches <br> across colored entirely opposite to its larger growing relatives -the flowers of <br> the Red Lilliput being zoned with yellow around the dark center the ends of <br> the petals being tipped with either claret or maroon-red There is of course the <br> expected variation in coloring on different plants some producing flowers <br> in which the red predominates and others with flowers almost or quite golden- <br> yellow The flowers are produced freely all over the plant and in continuous <br> succession until killed by frost See cut PRICE PER PACKET 20c <br> Henderson's Trio Collection of <br> RED SUNFLOWERS <br> Described Above <br> One Packet Each of <br> The NEW RED <br> WINE and PRIMROSE <br> and RED LILLIPUT <br> for 50c Postpaid <br> WINE and primrose <br> red lilliput' 43874904 149634 78295 Page 112 Text http //www biodiversitylibrary org/page/43874904 c1915 10 5962/bhl title 78295 Henry G Gilbert Nursery and Seed Trade Catalog Collection ;
