HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1925 



Special Notice to Daffodil Lovers 



Everybody loves Daffodils and Narcissus and we, with others, regret 

 exceedingly the ruling of the Federal Horticultural Board, Ivnown as 

 QUARANTINE No. 37, prohibiting their importation after December 31st, 

 1925. because the Federal Horticultural Board at Washington, has decided 

 that there is danger of spreading certain plant diseases if the importation 

 of Xarcissus and DaSodils is allowed to continue. 



All Bulb Growers and dealers are of the opinion that inspection of im- 

 ported Bulbs by competent men. would avert all danger of plant infection; 

 and they think that the extreme measures about to be enforced are not 

 necessary. 



Daffodils and Narcissus are mostly imported from Holland and already 

 the growers over there have restricted the areas usually set aside for their 



production next year. This means that an unusually large quantity will be 

 imported into America this year, the last year of grace, and even if it were 

 to come about, that the ban against their importation was raised, there will 

 be a great scarcity for some years to come, and a great advance in the prices 

 of the Bulbs. 



We therefore advise all of our customers who love Daffodils to 

 order Daffodils, and all the other Bulbs they may require as soon 

 as they receive this cataloguf. > 



This will insure to customers who avail themselves of this opportunity, 

 a supply of the "cream" of the various stocks offered, as they are always 

 the first to be disposed of by the growers. 



Henderson's Imported Narcissus, Daffodils and Jonquils 



With the exception of the Polyanthus varieties all are hardy, grow, increase and flower year after year. They may be grown in garden beds or in herba- 

 ceous borders. The early sorts commence blooming in March and with a selection of mid-season and late flowering kinds an endless succession of bloom may 

 be enjoyed well into May. As cut flowers Narcissus are especially useful, being of lasting quality and vasing beautifully. The bulbs may be left undis- 

 turbed for seA'eral years on good loamy soil. Narcissus and Daffodils are also flowered in the greenhouse or window in pots, pans and flats of soil.
