Henderson's Superior Hyacinths 



Bring the Sweet Perfume of SprlrLgtlme to Your Garden 



There are few flowers that can compare with the Hyacinth for the purity of their colors and the sweet delicacy of their perfume. For 

 borders along walks, for that subtle touch of color at the base of foundation plantings or shrub borders, for many positions in the spring 

 garden, nothing is better suited. The Hyacinth also enjoys a universal popularity for indoor culture during the winter months in pots, 

 pans or Hyacinth glasses described below. Our pamphlet, "How to Grow Bulbs", sent free on request with orders, fully explains the methods 

 of indoor and garden culture of the Hyacinth.
