HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE 1930 
Henderson's "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. When freezing weather 
has set in and a light crust has been frozen on the soil, then cover the 
bed with leaves, straw, marsh hay or '•eeds to a depth of from four to 
six inches; this protects not only from severe freezing but from equally 
injurious unseasonable thaws. They are much used for winter blooming 
in pots. Plant or pot hyacinth bulbs between September and the last 
of November — the earlier the better — as it gives them a longer period 
to make roots jefore 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.
