PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— FLOWER BULBS 



"The Joy of Spring Flowers" 



To experience the joy of early spring flowers in the Garden, or winter flowers in the House 

 you must plant Bulbs in the Fall. The dull dark days of winter can be lightened and made cheery 

 by planting a few bulbs m pots in September to bloom from Thanksgiving Day onwards and for a 

 larger outlay, but still a moderate one, you can create in your dwelling a veritable winter 'garden of 

 flowers suggesting the atmosphere of June rather than that of January. As regards the outdoor 

 garden one would have a long wait for flowers during the spring months were it not for the planting 

 of autumn bulbs. By planting these in September and October one may indeed "Know the iov of 

 Spring Flowers" to the fullest extent.

EARLY KOMAN 

 HYACINTHS 



Roman Hyacinths are popular for winter 

 flowering in the house in pots or pans and 

 are also used for "forcing" for cut flowers. 

 The white Roman Hyacinth is the earliest, 

 best and most floriferous variety, though 

 the pink and light blue are beautiful and 

 supply a variation of color. 



Ihey are all easily grown in pots of soil, 

 and throughout the winter a continuous 

 succession of delightful flowers may be 

 enjoyed by bringing in from the cellar a 

 pot or two of the rooted bulbs at intervals 

 of about two weeks. A five in. pot is 

 sufficient for 3 bulbs, a six-inch pot or pan 

 for 6 bulbs, a seven-inch pot or pan for 

 8 bulbs. Roman Hyacinths are not hardy 

 for open ground planting north of Washing- 

 ton, but where winters are mild, if lightly 

 protected with mulch they thrive in the 

 garden.
