PETER HENDERSON" & CO.— HYACINTHS. 



" Prize ' Hyacinths. 



The following Hyacinths, which we have denominated as "Prize," were selected by us as 

 the very best of an immense assortment, comprising nearly all existing sorts which were largely 

 grown by us two winters ago, with a view of not only arriving at the best and most desirable 

 kinds, but also to enable us to shorten a long list of varieties of no special merit. All that we 

 offer as "Prize " are grand sorts, and with proper treatment cannot fail to give the utmost 

 satisfaction. How fine this particular assortment is likely to prove may be judged from the 

 fact, that at the March, 1882, Exhibition of the New York Horticultural Society, we were 



awarded the " Two First Prizes for Best Displays of Hyacinths," both of which 



displays were made up of the following sorts : 



Amy (single), bright crimson, fine truss. 



ArgUS (single), deep blue white eve. 



Czar Peter (single) large spike, light blue, large bells. 



Florence Nightingale (double), large spike, clear 



white, very tine. 

 Garrick (double), clear porcelain blue. 

 Ida (ingle i, rich golden yellow, splendid. 

 Incomparable (single), very dark red. 

 King Of the Blues (single), dark blue, large spike. 

 La Joyeuse (single), beautiful pale rose. 

 La Citroniere (single), bright yellow, extra fine. 

 Leonidas (single), light blue, large compact spike. 



50c. each, $4.50 p*r dozen, or entire set of 18 varieties for $6.00. (Free by mail ) 

 In the above assortment )t will be noticed that we name a larger proportion of single thm of double varieties. 

 We do this for the reason that the single sorts are for all purposes much more preferable, as the flowers of the 

 double kinds have a tendency to drop off. For General List of Named Hyacinths, see preceding page. 



Mixed (Unnamed) Hyacinths. 



These are smaller Bulbs, made up from the named sorts described on page 4. 

 They are all sound Bulbs, and certain to flower, and are especially intended for outside 

 planting. Those purchasing in quantity can secure a rich display of bloom in early spring, at a 

 moderate expense. For indoor culture, either in pots or glasses, it is advisable to purchase the 

 larger sized named sorts given above, or those on the preceding page. 



If by Mail, please add postage at rale of 25c. per dozen.

EARLY WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



The Roman Hyacinths may be potted any time after September 1st, and successive lots 

 every two or three weeks, if wanted during the winter months — those potted by October 1st will, 

 by being plunged to the rim of the pot in a cool place, have formed roots by the middle of 

 November, and if then started and grown in a night temperature in the greenhouse of 55 or GO 

 degrees, will be in bloom about Christmas or New Year. As the Roman Hyacinth is sinail in 

 size, a four inch pot will be large enough for each bulb. Each bulb will average about two 

 flowers each. Its pearly whiteness and delicious odor makes it indispensable in all fine floral 

 work. Extra Selected Bulbs, 10 cts each ; $1.00 per dozen : $7.00 per 100. 



SINGLE ROSE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



This kind flowers from two to three weeks later than the Early White offered above. Price, 

 $1.00 per dozen, $7.00 per 100.
