Henderson’s Flowering Bulbs 
FOR FALL PLANTING 
Bulbs are practically all grown in Holland and as we are large importers we get the pick and import only “‘firsts’’, although great quantities 
‘ 
known as 
‘seconds”’ are on the market, and are often sold by local dealers. 
Having been engaged in the bulb importing business for three-quarters 
of a century, we know intimately all the best growers of the different varieties in Holland; some excel in growing one kind, and some in another, 
so that we are in a position to get the best qualities of All Varieties. 
Bulbs and roots mature and ripen at different periods during the late summer and autumn, and shipment will be made as follows in the 
absence of contrary instructions. 
Our August shipment includes Lilium Harrisii, Freesias, Roman and French Hyacinths, Paper White Narcissusand Callas. Our September 
and October Main Shipment includes the general line of bulbs, such as Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Crocus, Iris, Peonies, Snowdrops, Scillas, 
etc. Our November shipment includes Lily of the Valley, Hardy Lilies, etc.
