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



Named Dutch Hyacinths. 



Strictly "Top Roots". The T highest grade of Bulbs produced in Holland — 

 not Second size so often sent out as Firsts. 



In this grade we offer the largest and best bulbs that the varieties produce. Some kinds, of course 

 make larger bulbs than others, but purchasers may rely on getting the pick of the crop. These selected 

 " top roots " as the Hollanders call them, naturally cost little more than the run of the crop, but 

 are worth the difference where largest spikes furnished with the greatest number of bells are desired 

 for pots, glasses and exhibition, for the flowers of Hyacinths in an incipient form are stored in the 

 hearts of the bulbs before maturity, exactly as they afterwards develop, so that if you purchase younger, 

 cheaper bulbs, containing in embryo fewer bells on a spike, no system of culture can make them pro- 

 duce more that season. Therefore, for the finest results the best, oldest and largest bulbs (within 

 certain limits) should be chosen for these usually c ontain the most perfect and greatest number 

 of flowers. 



The figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 after the name of the Hyacinth indicates the relative time of flowering — 

 the l's flower together and are the earliest, No. 4 the latest.
