HENDERSONS' 

 "SPECIAL" HYACINTHS 



FOR BEDDING OR POT CULTURE WITHOUT NAMES- 

 CHEAPER THAN NAMED VARIETIES— FAR BETTER 

 THAN MIXED 



They are the same age as the first size Named Hyacinth offered 

 by us from which these are the second selection. They are of 

 great value for bedding in designs, enabling one to obtain the 

 exact color effect desired. In beds, borders, etc., set the bulbs 5 to 

 6 inches apart and 4 inches deep measuring from the top of the 

 bulb. They are much used for winter blooming in pots. Plant 

 or pot hyacinth bulbs between September and the last of Novem- 

 ber — the earlier the better — as it gives them a longer period to 

 make roots before winter sets in and the flowers will be better 

 developed. 



Plant 1 bulb in a 5-in. pot, 3 bulbs in a 6 or 7-in. pot, 6 or 7 

 bulbs in an 8-in. pot or pan.
