PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BULBS 



\^_ 



flowers while smaller than those of the ordinary 



Dutch Hyacinth, yet are produced in much 



greater abundance — each bulb producing several 

 very graceful spikes of bloom, their delicious perfume, earliness and profusion of bloom, has made 

 Roman Hyacinths exceedingly popular. They are so easily grown andso early, that if potted in 

 August and September they can be brought into flower in November and December, and by a suc- 

 cession of plantings can be had in bloom throughout the winter. Roman Hyacinths are not con- 

 sidered hardy enough for open ground culture north of Washington, though in our grounds near 

 New York they have proved perfectly hardy, slightly protected. For cutting purpose the Roman 

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

WHITE ITALIAN OR PARISIAN HYACINTHS. 



These are extensively grown by florists for the Paris flower market, as the profusion of bloom, fragrance and graceful spikes render them very popular 

 for cutting purposes. They flower quickly after being potted and deserve to be more largely grown. The bulbs are red skinned and bloom a little later than 

 White Romans, and therefore are valuable for succession. Price, 5c. each; 40c. per doz.; $2.75 per 100. {Postage \oc. fier dozen extra, single bulbs

GRAPE HYACINTHS. 



Very pretty, producing flowering spikes about 6 inches high, with little round bells so arranged as to resemble a buncil of grapes. Admirable for per- 

 manent beds and edgings and partially shaded situations, where they should be planted in groups of one dozen or more, wherfl they will soon spread, and 

 being perfectly hardy will take care of themselves. They are very pretty when grown six in a pot in the house for winter flowering. (See cut.) 



Price, Blue Grape Hyacinths, 3 bulbs for 5c; 15c. per doz.; $1.00 per 



100; $7.00 per 1000. 

 " White " " « bulbs for 5c; 25c. per doz.; $1.50 per 



100; $10.00 per 1000. 



MUSK HYACINTHS, Large Flowering. 



A small growing Hyacinth of a purplish color, emitting when in flower, a 

 strong and very agreeable musky odor. Valuable for pot culture, and well worth 

 growing in clumps in the open ground. Price, ioc. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 

 per 100. 



FEATHERED HYACINTHS. 



Exceedingly pretty feathery plume-like spikes averaging 9 to 12 inches high, 

 few plants are more striking in the garden or more useful for cutting. 

 Price, 2 bulbs for 5c; 25c. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $10.00 per rooo. 



CHEAP NAMED DUTCH HYACINTHS
