•BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING -^ 



Henderson s superior Freesias. 



Freesias are most popular and charming bulbs for pot culture, flower- 

 ing in the winter and spring in the conservatory, or window garden; 6 

 or 8 bulbs should be planted in a 4-inch pot. They force readily and 

 can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, and by having a dozen or 

 more pots started in the cold frame they can be brought in at intervals, 

 thereby keeping up a continuous display of bloom through the winter; 

 the flowers are produced 6 to 8 on stems about 9 inches high, and are 

 particularly useful for cutting, remaining in good condition kept in 

 water for "two weeks. 



Refracta Alba. The flowers are pure white with a yellow blotched 

 throat and are exquisitely fragrant. (See cut.) 



Extra Large Bulbs, 15c. idoz.; 25c. doz.; 81.50 per 100; 810.00 per 1000.

 primrose-yellow flowers marked with orange blotches and very frag- 

 rant. 20c. i doz.; 35c. doz.; 82.25 per 100. 



GIANT WHITE FKEESIA. 



" SNOW STORM." 



A distinct and greatly improved type producing large sprays of purest 

 snow white flowers of immense size and deliciously fragrant; it is very 

 free blooming and of great value for forcing for cut flowers. The foliage 

 is narrower and less coarse than that of ordinary strains. Price, 5c. 

 each; 50c. doz.; S3.00 per 100. 



NEW FREESIA, FISCHER'S PURITY. 



Mr. Fischer, a florist, has evolved a type of pure white Freesias that 

 surpass in size, floriferousness and purity of color all other Freesias 

 coming into the New York flower market. Our bulbs come direct from 

 Mr. Fischer. Price, 5c. each; 50c. doz.; S3.50 per 100; 



ERYTHRONIUM, or DOG'S TOOTH VIOLETS. 



Beautiful plants, perfectly hardy, the foliage is usually charmingly variegated, and a mass of 

 15 or 20 plants is a pretty sight even when not in flower, but when the graceful flowers are in bloom 

 the effect is matchless. The plants luxuriate in rather moist, partially shady positions and do 

 very nicely when grown in pots for winter blooming. 



Americanum. The native yellow Dog's Tooth Violet. 12c. each; 81.25 doz.; 810.00 per 100. 



Dens-Canis Grandiflora. Mixed Colors. New large flowered hybrids, including purples, rose, 

 white, etc. loc. * doz.; 35c. doz.; 82.50 per 100. 



FRITILLARIA MELEAGKIS LATIFOLIUS. 



Singular dwarf spring-flowering plants, bearing large pendant bell-shaped flowers of various colors 

 yellow, white, black, purple, striped and splashed and checkered in the most curious way. They 

 are invaluable for pot culture and exceedingly pretty when grown in large groups in the garden 

 border or wild garden in a dry situation. Mixed Varieties. 20c. § doz.; 35c. doz.; 82.50 per 100. 



GESNEKA. 



Greenhouse tuberous-rooted plants, remarkable for the beauty of their foliage and also for their 

 spikes of brilliantly colored flowers, mostly scarlet and yellow. For a continuous succession of 

 bloom the plants should be started at different times. Mixed Varieties. 20c. each; S2.00 doz. 



EAFkLY^FLOWERING GLADIOLUS. 



These Gladiolus are invaluable for flowering in the greenhouse for winter bloom. The flowers are 

 smaller and more refined than those ot the Gandavensis Gladiolus; the colors and markings 

 are very handsome ; the bulbs can be kept dormant until spring and then be planted in open 

 ground if preferred, blooming in June and July. If planted in cold frames they will flower as 

 early as May, and this is perhaps the better way in very cold localities. (Ready in November.) 



The Bride. (Colvilli Alba.) Beautiful; purest white flowers, set closely on stem; most valuable 

 for forcing for cut flowers. 20c. + doz.; 35c. doz.; 82.50 per 100.
