Hendersons Superior Hyacinths 
Bring the Sweet Perfume of Springtime to Your Garden 
There are few flowers that can compare with the Hyacinth for the purity of their colors and the sweet delicacy of their perfume. 
For 
borders along walks, for that subtle touch of color at the base of foundation plantings or shrub borders, for many positions in the spring 
garden, nothing is better suited. The Hyacinth also enjoys a universal popularity for indoor culture during the winter months in pots, 
pans or Hyacinth glasses described beiow. Our pamphlet, ‘‘How to Grow Bulbs’. free on request with orders, explains cultural methods

FOR BEDDING OR POT CULTURE WITHOUT NAMES—CHEAP- 
ER THAN NAMED VARIETIES—FAR BETTER THAN MIXED 
They are the same age as the first size Named Hyacinth offered by us 
from which these are the second selection. They are of great value for 
bedding in designs, enabling one to obtain the exact color effect desired 
In beds, borders, etc., set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart and 4 inches deep 
measuring from the top of the bulb. They are much used for winter 
blooming in pots. Plant or pot hyacinth bulbs between September and 
the last of November—the earlier the better—as it gives them a longer 
period to make roots before winter sets in. 
Plant 1 bulb in a 5-in. pot, 3 bulbs in a 6 or 7-in. pot, 6 or 7 bulbs in an 
8-in. pot or pan. 
Price, 12c each, $1.25 per dozen, $8.00 per hundred.

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS 
Roman Hyacinths are extensively used for ‘‘forcing’’ 1or cut flowers. 
The white Roman Hyacinth is the earliest, best and most floriferous 
variety, though the pink and light blue are very beautiful and supply a 
variation of color For Culture, etc., see our pamphlet. Sent free if 
asked for. 
Roman Hyacinths are not hardy enough for open ground planting 
north of Washington, but where the winters are mild, especially if 
lightly protected with mulch, they thrive excellently in the garden.
