€L Grown and hybridized for a number of 

 years by Mr. A. Frey, of Crown Point,

 several shades of yellow, orange, lavender 

 and pink, all, however, harmonizing with 

 each other, even when bunched together. 



€L Habit of plant is branching, each bulb 

 giving two to three flowers with stems 

 long enough for all floral purposes. 



€t BiUbs offered are of good blooming size 

 and in a mixture of colors. Separate 

 colors cannot be offered as yet. 



Delivery in July, as soon as bulbs are harvested an€ cured. 



Price-$5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000; $187.50 for 5000

A. HENDERSON & CO.,

of England's supply of bulbs. Consid- 

 ering only the Holland bulbs, the lat- 

 est figures available show that in the 

 one month of September, 1914, Holland 

 sent the following quantities to the 

 various countries: 



Country^ Kilogram 



United States 1.599,100 



Great Britain 2,829.300 



Sweden 1,070,000 



Denmark 156.200 



Norway 90.600 



Germany Austria 2,306,9no 



Belgium-France 48,900 



Russia None 



All other countries 33.100 



Totals 8,140,100 



With a quantity of bulbs equal to 

 twice what America uses thrown unex- 

 pectedly on the market, only the strong- 

 est kind of organization among the 

 Holland, French, Japanese and other 

 exporters can prevent price cutting 

 and demoralization. 



TENERIITE-BEEMUDA ONION. 



Owing to the lack of rains this win- 

 ter in the Canary Islands, a consider- 

 able part of the onion seed crop has 

 been irretrievably lost and what re- 

 mains of it is in a rather precarious 

 condition. 



On the other hand, the fact that the 

 yield of Bermuda onions in Texas has 

 been smaller than expected, and the 

 difficulties in transporting^ the Egyptian 

 onions, will have the effect, so I antici- 

 pate, of maintaining satisfactory prices 

 in northern and eastern markets of the 

 Union and as a consequence the demand 

 for our seed will be brisker than usual. 



With our little crop we will not be 

 able to face half of the demand from 

 different countries. 



Once more the Texas Bermuda onion 



New Early-flowerin£ or Winter-blooming 



^a m, 1% ■ -^^ entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The 



Dldnt idllSlfiS ii^i^ B'd vantage of these new Pansies over all hitherto 

 '*■•■'■* ■ ■■■■•■WW existing Pansies is the extreme earliness of flowering 

 and their unusual hardiness. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin 

 flowering the early part of March, or as soon as the snow is off the ground, 

 many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when all other 

 Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well formed and 

 fragrant. Seed ready July 1.
