HENDERSON'S 



Cjrana Jnixiure of Jnaij-^jlowerbiJCj (^uLips 



Giant Darwin Mixture 



The charm and gaiety of springtime is particularly fascinating because it enters upon the scene so unobtrusively; at first with 

 a few.' timid little Snowdrops, which are quickly followed with the more colorful Crocus; then the Daffodils, Early TuUps, and 

 other spring flowers. The grand crescendo — the glorious climax of harmonious color, however, reaches its pinnacle with the 

 majestic May-Flowering Darwin Tulips. 



These are by all odds the essence of springtime ! It is the May-Flowering Tulips that dispel all thoughts of drabness, and give 

 buo\'ancy to the spirit; in other words, they arc supreme as springtime morale builders. 



Henderson's Grand Mixture is exceptional, being made up entirely of named v.arieties. Many choice sorts are included to 

 produce a great variety' of colors, tones and shades, which blend so perfectly that a lovely, harmonious effect is obtained over 

 an extended period. Very effective for beds or border planting, for foreground of foundation plantings, also for mass planting 

 to complete landscape displays or for naturalizing. Price, 85c per do:.: S6.50 per 100; S60.00 per 1000.
