HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE 1930 
EASTER LILIES, ETC. (For Indoor Culture) 
Bermuda Easter Lilies 
Lilium Longiflorum Harrisii 
The short time required to bring this peerless Lily into flower renders 
it invaluable. The flowers are delightfully fragrant pure waxy-white, 
and if cut when pa.'tially open, can be kept for two weeks. Bulbs potted 
in September can be had in flower in December, if desired. 
A succession of bloom can be kept up throughout the winter by bring- 
ing in a few pots of bulbs from cold frames at intervals. Blooming plants 
in pots are suitable for Easter offerings and presents. We offer three 
types of the Longiflorum Lily usually grown by the florist. Of the three 
types we recommend Lilium formosum as the best for private conserva- 
tory growing. 
Bulbs Ready for Shipment — August to December. (See engraving.) 
Extra Size Bulbs. (7 to 9 inches in circumference.) This is the most 
popular size to grow as pot plants for decoration and equally as valu- 
able for cutting. Bulbs should produce from 8 to 12 flowers. 25c. ea. ; 
$2.50 doz.; $18.00 per 100. 
Monstrous Size Bulbs. (9 to 11 inches in circumference.) These are 
usually grown for specimens in pots, for exhibitions and decorations. 
Each bulb should produce from 12 to 18 flowers. 50c. ea. ; $5.00 per 
doz.; S35.00 per 100. 
The Formosa Easter Lily 
Lilium Longiflorum Formosum 
This is an improved type of the well known L. longiflorum also known 
as the "Easter or St. Joseph's Lily." The plants are of healthy strong 
growth — about 3 feet high and produce beautiful snow white trumpet 
shaped flowers, 6 to 8 inches long. This lily is largely grown by florists 
who "force" them as pot plants and for cut flowers. It is not quite as 
early as Lilium Harrisii. For Shipment, September to December. 
Extra Size Bulbs. S to 10 inches. 30c. ea.; S3. 00 doz.; S22.00 per 100. 
Japan Easter Lily 
Lilium Longiflorum Giganteum 
This Japanese type is highly thought of for late winter and Easter 
forcing— though the bulbs of this variety are often carried over in cold 
storage to be brought into bloom at any desired time the succeeding year. 
The plant is of sturdy stocky growth — with black marked stems. The 
flowers of purest white are the largest of the .ongiflorums. For Shipment, 
October to December. 
Extra Size Bulbs, 8 to 10 inch. 40c. ea;.; $4.00 doz.; S30.00 per 100. 
Six Bulbs of a Variety Sold at the Dozen Rate, 25 at the Hundred 
Rate. 
Henderson's Selected Calla Lilies 
A well-known plant of easy culture for winter bloom. It makes a hand- 
some house or window plant. To aid profuse blooming keep dormant 
from the middle of June until the last of September; pot on receipt in 
good, rich soil, using 6 to 8-inch pot, give light and heat in abundance. 
Both foliage and flowers are attractive in this desirable winter bloomer 
Calla Aethiopica, or Lily of the Nile 
This old favorite White Calla Lily is too well known to require any 
description. We offer dry roots, as they are superior for forcing and 
winter-flowering purposes; they come into bloom quickly and require 
less room making less foliage. Extra large bulbs, 35c. ea. ; S3.50 per doz. ; 
$25.00 per 100. 
The Godfrey Everblooming Calla 
This new hybrid is a true ever-blooming variety. A good plant, pro- 
duces an astonishing quantity of large, snow-white, slightly fragrant 
flowers. Compared with the ordinary- white Calla, it gives three flowers to 
one. The plant is dwarf, compact, strong growth, about 18 inches high 
with an abundance of dark green leaves. Dormant bulbs, 25c. ea.; S2.50 
per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 
Yellow Calla, Elliotianna 
The yellow Calla; large rich, deep golden flowers often 4 to 5 inches 
across at the mouth; habit of growth and foliage like the old favorite 
white Calla excepting the leaves of Elliotianna are spotted with white. 
(See engraving.) Dry bulbs, 35c. ea.; $3.50 per doz.; S25.00 per 100.
