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



Henderson's Superior 



Bermuda Easter Lily 



LILIUM HARRISII. 



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

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

 reason that no expense is spared in manuring and cultivating, spraying, 

 etc. Experience having shown us that bulbs so treated are incomparably 

 superior.

 best for " Earliest " forcing and particularly for cut- 

 ting with long stems. Bulbs should produce from 4 

 to 6 flowers. (400 bulbs in a case)

WHAT FLORISTS THINK OF 

 HENDERSON'S EASTER LILY BULBS. 



" We have been more successful 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. 

 "Please book my order for Bermuda Easter Lilies (L. Harrisii.) Those I 

 had from you last Fall were the best I have grown in years. They were cer- 

 tainly fine." C. BECHSTEDT, Florist. 



Oswego, N. Y. 



"FORMOSA" LONGIFLORUM LILIES. 



FOR EARLY FORCING. 



For shipment September to December. 



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 

 are 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 bulbi 

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

LONGIFLORUM GIGANTEUM 



This type produces flowers of larger size, perfect form and of superior 

 substance; stems marked black. It is later than Formosa Longiflorum. 

 but it is highly thought of for late winter and Easter forcing.
