PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— SUPERIOR BULBS— WHOLESALE. 



Henderson's Superior 



Bermuda Easter Lily 



(LILIUM HARRISII.) 



The TRUE Bermuda Easter Lily is our Great Specialty. We were the 

 pioneer introducers of it and have always been " Headquarters," supply- 

 ing the trade generally, both in Europe and America. 



We wish to lay particular stress upon the size and quality of our Bulbs 

 which are larger, healthier and better than those usually sold — for the 

 reason that no expense is spared in manuring and cultivating. Experi- 

 ence having shown us that bulbs so treated are incomparably superior to 

 bulbs grown on impoverished and unfertilized land year after year.

WHAT FLORISTS THINK OF 



HENDERSON'S EASTER LILY BULBS 



" We have been more sitccessful with your Harrisii bulbs than have any 



of the other florists in the vicinity of Wheeling with bulbs from other sources." 



OSCAR WRIGHT. Moundsville, W. Va. 



" I got 100 Harrisii Lily Bulbs from you last year and 99 of them bloomed 



all right, they were a nice lot." WILLIS E. HAMILTON, Florist, 



Belfast, Maine. 

 ' ' You may book >ny order for 7 to Si inch Lilium Harrisii. Those from you 

 this year were fine." E. HAENTZE, Florist, 



. Fond du Lac, Wis. 



" / am well pleased with the Harrisii Lilies I got from you; they are the best 

 I have had in 10 years." H. A. MAXINER, Port Jervis, N. Y. 



"FORMOSA" LONGIFLORUM HUES. 



FOR EARLY FORCING. 



This type of Lilium longiflorum from the Island of Formosa has been 

 grown experimentally by a few florists in the U. S. the past two seasons and 

 in most instances has proven the claim that it can safely be forced earlier 

 than any other longiflorum type (excepting L. Harrisii). The plants were 

 of healthy strong growth, producing freely, large pure white flowers of 

 splendid lasting substance. 



We understand that some stocks of alleged Formosa " Lilies " put out 

 last season were not quite satisfactory, being mixtures of various longiflorum 

 types, but no word of complaint has been received regarding our strain. In 

 fact we have received several commendatory letters with accompanying 

 orders for " Henderson's Strain of Formosa Longiflorums." Our bulbs 

 are coming from the same grower this season as in the past.
