PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— SUPERIOR BULBS— WHOLESALE. 



Henderson's Superior 



Bermuda Easter Lily 



(LILIUM HARRISll.) 



The TRUE Bermuda Easter Lily is our Great Specialty. We were the 

 pioneer introducers of it and have always been " Headquarters," supply- 

 ing the trade generally, both in Europe and America. 



We wish to lay particular stress upon the size and quality of our Bulbs 

 which are larger, healthier and better than those usually sold — tor the 

 reason that no expense is spared in manuring and cultivating. Experi- 

 ence having shown us that bvdbs so treated are incomparably superior to 

 bulbs grown on impoverished and unfertihzed land year after year, which 

 constitutionally weakens the bulbs and they give results accordingly.

" Please ship us 1000 Lihum Harrisii bulbs — 6 to 7 inch size. We are 

 giving you this order on the strength of getting bulbs equal in liealth io ilwse 

 we got from you last year, which produced tlte finest plants we liad last season." 

 CLARK BROS., Florists. Portland, Oregon. 



" We Jiave been more successful with your Harrisii bulbs tluin have any 

 of the oilier florists in the vicinity of Wliceling with bulbs from other sources." 

 OSCAR WRIGHT, Moundsville, W. Va. 



" I have been growing your Harrisii bulbs for several years. Last season 

 I divided my order, placing one half with you and tlie other half with another 

 prominent seedsman. Yours were the true Bermuda Harrisii, while the 

 ethers were badly mixed wtth a worthless variety which grew to enormous 

 lieight wtth a very small flower. Your half were all of an even stze with flowers 

 of an excellent quality. I had tlie honor of having the finest Lilies in Pitts- 

 burgh from your bulbs. Tliere were but few of your plants diseased — prob- 

 ably 50 in the whole batch of 6,000 bulbs. You will have my full order next 

 season." WM. F. LAUCH. Florist. Carrtck, Pa. 



The bulbs from you last season were very satisfactory. The Lilium 

 Harrisii were especially good, averaging 5 to 10 flowers per stem — and tht 

 flowers were very fine." WM. S. WILSON, Concord, N, H. 



"I got 100 Harrisii Lily Bulbs from you last year and 99 of them bloomed 

 all right, ttiey were a nice lot." WILLIS E. HAMILTON, Florist,

 this year were fine." E. HAENTZE, Florist,

 plants that I have seen anywiiere, and I am glad that it is so, as this was the 

 first time I got my Harrisii from you and which will assure you of gettint 

 furtlwr orders." CHRIS BESOLD, Florist, Mineola, L. I.
