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



HENDERSONS SUPERIOR 



Early "Roman" Hyacinths. 



^ff HE flowers, while smaller than those of the Dutch Hyacinth, yet 

 V» are produced in much greater abundance — each bulb bearing 

 several very graceful flower spikes. The delicious perfume, earli- 

 ness and profusion of bloom have made Roman Hyacinths exceedingly 

 popular; they are so easily grown and so early that if potted in August 

 and September they can be brought into flower in November ami 

 December, and a succession can be had in bloom throughout the winter. 

 Roman Hyacinths are not considered hardy enough for open-ground 

 culture north of Washington, though in our grounds near New York 

 they have proven perfectly hardy, slightly protected. For cutting pur- 

 poses the Roman Hyacinth is the finest bulb grown. (See cut.)

What Florists Think of Henderson's Superior Bulbs 



" / ordered Roman Hyacinths of you in the jail and must say I never 

 saw finer bulbs. Some of them had as many as fifteen, and a few had 

 seventeen spikes of flowers." J. O. GRABB, Cedartown, Ga. 



" Will say that your Bulbs -were the best I ever handled. The results 

 splendid." E. C. STAMMERJOHN, 



Vine Clad Greenhouses, Boonville, Mo. 



Narcissus, Paper White 



"Orandi flora," or Large Flowering. 



This large flowering type is such an improvement over the 

 ordinary " Paper White " that we have discontinued offer- 

 ing the latter. The " Large Flowering " is more vigoroui 

 and earlier, producing purest snow white flowers of large size 

 and good substance in large trusses. The Paper White 

 Narcissus is becoming very popular for growing in bowls of 

 water like the Chinese Narcissus. In fact the Paper White 

 gives so much better satisfaction than the Chinese Lily 

 that it is supplanting the latter for water culture. 



Price of extra sized bulbs, 13 centimeters and over, 25c. 

 per doz.; $1.00 per 103. $9.00 per 1000; 10.000 lots at

 doz.; $1.*_5 per 100; $11.00 per 1000. 



White Callas -Dry Bulbs. 



(Now ready for shipment — August to November). 



The dry bulbs are superior for forcing purposes, as they 

 come into bloom quickly and require less room — making 

 less foliage. Dry bulbs will flower nearly twice as abundantly 

 as plants that have been kept growing or only semi-dormant. 



Price, Extra Size Bulbs, H to 2 inches in diameter. 

 $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 1000.
