PETER HENDERSON & CO.—PLANT DEPARTMENT. 
ALL SELECTED BULBS. 
These are now the most popular 
plants for beds of summer fiowers, 
oras pot plants for the greenhouse, 
conservatory or sitting-room. Our 
bulbs are all sound, well matured 
and of good size. For a time it 
was generally supposed that these could 
not be grown in the open air with suc- 
cess, but extensive plantings of them in 
various sections of the country have 
demonstrated their adaptability for this 
purpose. Nothing can exceed the brillianey of their colors, the delicacy 
of their tints, the richness of their waxy flowers, the gorgeousness of 
their effect in masses or their graceful appearance in bedsor borders. From 
the time the first blossom appears until all growth is stopped by frost they 
are never outof bloom, and such blooms, great waxy flowers from three to 
five inches across, borne in such profusion that the rich glossy green foliage is 
almost hidden under the wealth of blossoms. A bunch of these on the table 
in a room will remain perfect a long time and brighten it up as no other flowers 
will. There are inferior varieties of these grand flowers offered, but those we 
sell are the best the world can produce, and were selected from the celebrated 
growers of Europe; hence our customers may rely on getting the best from us, 
and be guarded against cheap offers of these which cannot be as good as our care- 
fully selected strain. They should be planted about one foot apart each way, and 
on the approach of cold weather they should be taken up and the bulbs stored 
away ina warm place until the spring, when they may be started in pots before planting 
in the garden.
