PETER HENDERSON & CO., 35 and 37 Cortlandt St., NEW YORK 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 

 Double Dutch Named Hyacinths 



All Select First Size Bulbs, not "Seconds" that may lee sold at a lower price. 

 Double Hyacinths are not as popular as the single-belled varieties; for as a class the "doubles" although their 

 individual bells are large and beautiful do not make as well-filled trusses. For this reason we confine our list of 

 varieties to a few of the very best. The figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 after the names of Hyacinths indicate the relative 

 time of flowering — the I's flower together and are the earliest; No. 4 the latest.

Henderson's "Special" Hyacinths 



FOR BEDDING OR POT CULTURE WITHOUT NAMES— CHEAPER THAN NAMED VARIETIES— 



FAR BETTER THAN MIXED 



Henderson's Special Hyacmths (equally useful for garden, bedding and borders, or forced for winter flower- 

 ing in pots or pans) are larger sized bulbs than those put in ordinary mixtures. They are the same age as the 

 first size Named Hyacinth offered by us from which these are the second selection. They are of great value 

 for bedding in designs, enabling one to obtain the exact color effect which is a great advantage over mixed 

 reds and mixed blues. In beds, borders, etc, set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart and 4 inches deep measuring from 

 the top of the bulb. They are much used for winter blooming in pots. Plant -or pot hyacinth bulbs between 

 .^I'ptember and the last of November — the earlier the better — as it gives them a longer period to make roots 

 bi fore winter sets in and the flowers will be better developed. 



Plant 1 bulb in a 5-in. pot, 3 bulbs in a 6 or 7-in. pot, 6 or 7 bulbs 

 in an 8-in. pot or pan.

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS 



Roman Hyacinths are exceedingly popular and invaluable for wmter 



flowering in the house in pots or pans, and are also extensively used for 



"forcing" for cut flowers. The white Roman Hyacinth is the earliest, 



best and most flourishing variety, though the pink, rose, and light blue 



are very beautiful and supply a variation of color. 

 They are all easily grown in pots of soil and if potted in September, the pots plunged in the open ground for 

 a month until the bulbs are well rooted, and then brought in the house they can be had in flower in November 

 or December, and from that time throughout the winter a continuous succession of delightful flow'ers may be 

 enjoyed by bringing in from the plunge or cellar a pot or two of the rooted bulbs at intervals of about two 

 weeks, A five-in. pot is large enough for 3 bulbs, a six-in. pot or pan for 6 bulbs, a seven-in, pot or pan for S bulbs. 

 Roman Hyacinths are not hardy enough for open ground planting north of Washington, but where the winters are 

 mild, especially if hghtly protected with mulch they thrive excellently in the garden.

"DUTCH ROMAN HYACINTHS 



The smaller or three year old bulbs of some varieties of Dutch Hyacinths produce, considering their size, beauti- 

 ful spikes of bloom, not as large nor furnished with as many bells as older full sized bulbs but still so satisfactory 

 for their low price that they arc extensively grown for winter flowers, forced either in "flats" pans or pots. They 

 may be had in flower from January on — thus succeeding the earlier French Romans. The bulbs may be placed very 

 near together — say H an inch apart — requiring 7 or 8 bulbs for a 7-inch pan or 5 bulbs for a 5-inch pot or pan.
