HENDERSON'S "XX" BULBS 



OF NEW AND CHOICE 



HYACINTHS. 



T I J E have a number of customers who are Hyacinth fanciers, 

 l/ll and want the ver3- largest and finest bulbs of the best 

 * varieties, regardless of price, to enable them to produce 



flowers superior to their neighbors — or for exhibition. To meet this 

 demand we have arranged with our HoUand growers to pick out at a 

 fancy price a limited quantity of the very biggest bulbs harvested. 

 The flowers of Hyacinths in an incipient form are stored in the 

 bulbs before maturity, exactly as they afterwards develop so that 

 if you purchase younger, cheaper bulbs, containing in embryo only 

 a few bells on a spike, no system of culture can make them produce 

 more that season. Therefore, for the finest results the best, oldest 

 and largest bulbs (within certain limits) should be chosen, for these 

 usually contain the most perfect and greatest number of flowers. 



Henderson's new and choice Hyacinths are of distinct and superb 

 shades and colorings, producing largest, compactly furnished, per- 

 fectly formed trusses, and we unreservedly recommend them as 

 superlatively fine for growing in either pots or glasses, for winter 

 flowering in the house. Of cotu-se, they would be equally superior 

 for garden culture — but may be too expensive for the latter purpose. 



" The ' XX ' hyacinths I got of you last November are simply grand, 

 way ahead of anything I ever saw before. They have been the wonder 

 and admiration of every one that has seen them. They have been in 

 bloom ever since tiie 22d of February and most of thetn have thrown up 

 second spikes." - CHAS. E. GREEN, Dryden, N. Y. 



" The Single XX Hyacinths I got from you last year were simply 

 tnagnif.cent." J. H. LOIVERY, JR., Augusta, Ga.
