From the Hackensack N. J. Republican, May 13, 1927. f 

 FLOWER SHOW AT HENDERSON'S SEED FARM, 

 TEANECK, N. J. 



"The bulb gardens at the Henderson Seed Farm on River 

 road, north of Cedar lane, Teaneck, are open to the public, 

 free. The advertisement in to-day's Hackensack Republican 

 displays a road map showing how to reach the grounds, 

 which were visited last week-end by hundreds of people." 



"Many of the early varieties on view last week have 

 disappeared but, their places have been filled by the late- 

 flowering Tulips," said a representative of Peter Henderson 

 &Co. 



"The kinds now blooming or coming into bloom are 

 Darwin. Cottage, Breeder, Bybloemen, Rembrandt and 

 Parrot Tulips." 



"These late tulips are certainly the finest material there 

 is in the gardening world; for every conceivable shade may 

 be found among them except pure blue. Mixed planting of 

 Darwins are popular because of their soft colors; combina- 

 tions of lavenders, lilacs, mauves and various shades of pink 

 and rose color, being contrasted with scarlets, crimsons and 

 maroons." 



The grounds are open on week days and Sundays and all 

 visitors are welcome. 



Henderson's 1927 Exhibition at the International Flower Show, New York 



The lower illustration shows a portion of our exhibit at the Fourteenth 

 International Flower Show held at Grand Central Palace, New York City, 

 March 21st to 26th, 1927. Many of our customers and friends who had an 

 opportunity to visit the show, were enthusiastic in their praise of this exhibit 

 which occupied a space of 475 square feet at the west end of the ground floor 

 of the building. 



Our exhibit consisted of an extensive collection of bulbous flowers growing 

 in pots, including: Tulips, both the Single and Double Early, Cottage, Darwin 

 and Old Dutch Breeder varieties; also Hyacinths, American grown Narcissus

and Daffodils, Crocus, Freesias, Scillas, Snowdrops, Cailas, and Candidum 

 and Harrisii Lilies; all of which are offered in this catalogue. 



A half-circle staging permitted the various flowers to be banked in effective 

 groups, and each group was plainly labeled; a feature that added much interest 

 to the exhibit as it permitted the visitors to become familiar with, and com- 

 pare the various varieties of flowers shown. In the center of the exhibit was 

 placed a floral picture, a basket of the varieties of flowers on display combined 

 to show what artistic effects can be produced with bulbous flowers. 



The fifteenth International Flower Show will be held at the Grand Central 

 Palace, New York City from March 19th to 24th, 1928 when we shall again 

 exhibit.
