HENDERSON'S 



GRAND NEW EXHIBITION HYACINTHS 



Hyacinths are among the most popular and satisfactory hardy 

 flower bulbs grown. Their wax-like bell-formed flowers, borne in 

 buxom trusses, are of matchless beauty and also delightfully frag- 

 rant. The colors, shades and tints are wonderfully varied, from 

 purest white through blush, pink, rose, etc., to deepest red, and 

 from daintiest porcelain through blues to black purple, from cream 

 through yellows to orange and rosy apricot, etc. Hyacinths suc- 

 ceed with even," one and may be had in flower throughout the 

 winter, grown either in pots of soil or glasses of water, 

 while for gardens or bedded on the lawn they are very satisfying 

 and effective, furnishing as they do the first good show of spring 

 flower.
