36 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. 
ILY OF THE VALLEY. 
Ss (Ready for delivery in November.) 
The Lily of the Valley is one of the most useful and greatly admired plants 
grown; the modest bell-shaped fiowers of purest white are highly prized for 
cutting purposes.and for fiowering in pots in the winter they are exceedingly 
well adapted. Beautiful and most interesting ornamental designs for the 
parlor or conservatory may be produced by planting the Lily crowns in 
Crocus pots or in pyramidal pots made especially for this purpose, and 
pierced with holes. They will last several weeks in beauty. By taking them 
in at intervals, a succession of different designs may be kept up all winter. 
They are also forced in immense quantities by florists, but they are the most charming when 
grown in large patches, in partially shaded localities around the lawn, near the borders of 
streams, lakes, etc., being perfectly hardy. (See cut.)

ALL BULBS 
except 
noted 
This is the largest variety yet produced; itis only adapted for open 
ground planting and may not show much superiority the first spring 
after planting, but by the second season, when it gets well established, it 
produces wonderfully luxuriant foliage and immense spikes crowded with 
purest white bells twice the size of any other sort. In every way itisa 
superior plant.

dozen, $5.50 per 100; or, if buyer pays transit, 7T0c. per dozen, $5.00

Perfectly hardy, thriving in sheltered and partially shady situations; 
very handsome and valuable for flower borders; the stout flower stalks 
grow from 2 to 3 feet high and bear 20 or more large blue flowers, each 
2 inches across. A large clump in bloom is very effective. The flowers 
are fine for cutting, lasting for along timein water. 3 for 10c., 25c. per 
doz., $1.50 per 100. 
ERINE, or Guernsey Lilies. 
N. Sarniensis. These beautiful Lilies are perhaps the most popular 
and useful of the Amaryllis family; perhaps no bulb blooms with 
more certainty and swiftness after potting; for autumn and winter 
flowering they are extremely beautiful, throwing up stems from 
eighteen to twenty-fourinches, surmounted with lily-like flowers about 
two inches across; color very brilliant red, and in the sunlight glistens 
as if sprinkled with gold dust. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per dozen. 
Fothergilli Major. This is one of the most beautiful bulbous plants 
for the conservatory or window garden. It is a vigorous grower, 
flowering with great certainty and producing clusters of large wavy 
petaled lily-like flowers of the most glittering vermilion scarlet. It 
bloomsatvarious seasons. Itrequires potting butseldom and should 
be left to grow, blossom and increase for several years, as well- 
established plants when in flower are simply magnificeat. We know 
of no plant that will give more continued delight than this. (See 
cut.) Price, 50c. each, $5.00 per dozen.
