PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— BULBS. 



Improved White Roman Hyacinth, 



IMPROVED EARLY WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



This is a valuable and beautiful variety, the flowers while smaller than those of the ordinary 

 Dutch Hyacinth, yet are produced in much greater profusion — each bulb producing several very 

 graceful spikes of bloom, and their pearly whiteness, delicious perfume, earliness and profusion of 

 bloom, has made this variety exceedingly popular. We sell annually nearly half a million bulbs of 

 t'.iis variety alone. They are so easily grown and so early, that if potted in August and September 

 they can be brought into flower in November and December, and bv a succession of plantings can 

 be had in bloom throughout the winter, Roman Hyacinths are not hardy enough for open ground 

 culture north of Washington. {See cut.) Price, selected bulbs, 5c. each; 50c. per doz.; $3.00 

 per 100; §25.00 per 1000. 



{Add far postage on Roman Hyacinths at the rate 0/ 10c. per dozen if ivanted by mai/.)

 $18.00 per 1000. Postage 10c. per doze?i extra. 



WHITE ITALIAN 

 OR PARISIAN HYACINTHS. 



These are extensively grown by florists for the Paris flower market, as the pro- 

 fusion of bloom, fragrance and graceful spikes render them very popular for cutting 

 purposes. They flower quickly after being potted and deserve to be more largely 

 grown. The bulbs are red skinned and bloom a little later than White Romans, 

 and therefore are valuable for succession. Price, 5c. each; 40c. per doz.; $2.50 per 

 100.; $23 00 per 1000. Postage \oc. per dozen extra. 



GRAPE HYACINTHS. 



Very pretty variety producing flowering spikes about 6 inches high, with little 

 round bells so arranged as to resemble a bunch of grapes. Admirable for perman- 

 ent beds and edgings and partially shaded situations, where they should be planted 

 in groups of one dozen or more, where they will soon spread, and being perfectly 

 hardy will take care of themselves. They are very pretty when grown six in a pot 

 in the house for winter flowering. We have two colors, white and blue. (Sec
