PETER HENDERSON" & CO., NEW YORE:.— HIGH GRADE BULBS— WHOLESALE. 



HENDERSON'S IM- 

 PROVED WHITE 

 ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



(For shipment in August.) 



The pearly whiteness and 

 delicious odor of the Roman 

 Hyacinth makes it now in- 

 dispensible in all fine floral 

 work. The flowers, which 

 are smaller than those of the 

 ordinary Hyacinth, are pro- 

 duced in great profusion, 

 each bulb producing on an 

 average 3 or 4 spikes of deli- 

 cately-scented pure white 

 blossoms. 



We regret that the prices 

 of Roman Hyacinths are 

 somewhat higher this sea- 

 son — caused by the lo?ig 

 continued drought in the section of France where the bulbs 

 are grown. The growers are steadily advancing prices, 

 and there is bound to be a short crop of the larger sizes. 

 We advise early orders to secure bulbs.
