HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1925 



SUPERIOR SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 



NAMED VARIETIES, INCLUDING BEAUTIFUL NOVELTIES 

 The letters A, B, C, etc., following the varieties indicate their earliness of bloom, the A's flower to- 

 gether and are the earliest, B's follow before the A's are out of bloom, etc. The height is 

 indicated in inches to aid in arranging flower beds. 



Tulips are universal favorites Because of their beauty of form and variety of coloring. Their colors vary from dainty tints and blendings to strong 

 and gorgeous colorings. They are most popular for spring bedding, and for winter flowering in the greenhouse and window garden they are very desirable. 

 The Tulip is extremely hardy and of easy culture, blooming as freely and producing as fine flowers in a confined town garden as in a more favored place 

 Where beds of Tulips are to be kept gay from the earliest day of spring, plant between the lines Scilla Sibirica, Chionodoxas, Snowdrops or Crocus, as 

 these flower first and are through when the Tulips come into bloom, leaving a charming ground work of greenery for the Tulip blossoms.
