Henderson’s “Special?’ Hyacinths 
FOR BEDDING OR POT CULTURE WITHOUT NAMES 
—CHEAPER THAN NAMED VARIETIES—FAR 
BETTER THAN MIXED 
They are the same age as the first size Named Hyacinth 
offered by us from which these are the second selection. 
They are of great value for bedding in designs, enabling 
one to obtain the exact color effect desired. In beds, borders, 
etc., set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart and 4 inches deep 
measuring from the top of the bulb. They are much used 
for winter blooming in pots. Plant or pot hyacinth bulbs 
between September and the last of November—the earlier 
the better—as it gives them a longer period to make roots 
before winter sets in. 
Plant 1 bulb in a 5-in. pot, 3 bulbs in a 6 or 7-in. pot, 6 or 
7 bulbs in an 8-in. pot or pan.

HENDERSON’S DOUBLE 
Dutch Named Hyacinths 
All Select First Size Bulbs, not ‘‘Seconds’’ that may be sold at a lower price 
Double Hyacinths are not as popular as the single-belled varieties; for as a class the 
“doubles,’’although their individual bells are large and beautiful, do not make as well- 
filled trusses. For this reason we confine our list of varieties to a few of the very best.
