HENDERSON'S GRAND NEW EXHIBITION HYACINTHS 
(For Illustration see Page 12 of Color Section.) 
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 fragrant. The colors, shades and tints are wonderfully varied, from purest white through blush, pink, 
rose, etc., to deepest red, and from daintiest porcelain through blue to black purple, from cream through yellows to orange and rosy apricot, etc. 
Hyacinths succeed with every 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.

HENDERSON'S DOUBLE 
Dutch Named Hyacinths 
All Select First Size Bulbs, not "Seconds' that may be sold at a lower price 
Double Hyacinths are not as popular as the single-belled varieties; for as a class 
the "doubles" although their individual bells are large and beautiful do not make as 
well-filled trusses. Eor this reason we confine our list of varieties to a few of the 
very best. (See illustration.)
