npHERE is a peculiar charm and interest in 

 A growing Bulbs. They produce flowers of 

 remarkable beauty, unsurpassed by any other 

 class of plants in the floral kingdom, and 

 many are delightfully fragrant. In form, 

 size and colorings there is endless variety, 

 and besides bulbs are adaptable for so 

 many purposes, many of them flower 

 equally well grown either in the garden 

 or house, and not the least among the 

 merits of Bulbs is their ease of culture. 

 The certainty and perfection with 

 which their flowers are produced and the 

 remarkably short time required to bring 

 them into bloom under artificial con- 

 ditions; but 



THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE 

 IN THE QUALITY OF BULBS! 



CUPERIOR Bulbs— the pick of the 

 crops — are largely consumed by 

 critical European buyers, the "seconds" 

 and "substitutes" being too often palmed 

 off on less critical American dealers. We 

 insist — with a penalty attached — ■ on 

 being supplied with the same high grade — 

 true to name — varieties that the English, 

 Germans, and Russians get, and we see 

 that we get this superior grade by personally 

 conducted trials. 



Henderson's Superior Bulbs 



therefore cost a little more than inferior grades, but 

 our customers appreciate the difference.

 For Autumn Planting 



Revolutionizes Bulb Offerings in America 



OST of us have been deprived of the 

 better varieties of Flower Bulbs on 

 account of their high price. The splendid, 

 strong constitutioned, newer sorts do cost 

 a little more than decadent old kinds, and 

 heretofore to their greater value 25% ad 

 valorem duty has been exacted by the 

 U. S. Customs, thus-snaking the selling 

 price almost prohibitive. The present 

 specific duty — So^much per 1,000 re- 

 gardless of high or low foreign cost — 

 brings the preferred choice varieties 

 down so that "the best" may now be 

 enjoyed in America. Taking advan- 

 tage of these improved conditions, we 

 have excluded from our importations 

 many obsolete varieties and added their 

 more beautiful and robust successors. 

 For instance, our important revisions 

 include: 



35 New Hyacinths, 38 New Early Tulips, 

 22 New Daffodils, 

 and a host of grand new things among the 

 aristocrats of tu.lipdom — the Giant Dar- 

 wins, Cottagers, Rembrandts, etc. In Japan 

 and German Iris we offer an entire new 

 series of the improved large flowering sorts. 

 In Peonies we J ve 40 of the world's best 

 modern kinds, perfect revelations of beauty. 

 We have the new hybrid pink and other colored 

 Freesias; also new Butterfly Cyclamens, Fortin's 

 Giant Lily of the Valley, the African white 

 Watsonia and a host of other good new things all 

 of which are described and photographically illus- 

 trated in
