HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1926 



HENDERSON'S 



GRAND NEW EXHIBITION HYACINTHS 



Hj-acinths are among the most popular and satisfactory hardy 

 flower bulbs grown. Their wax-like bell-formed flowers, borne in 

 buxom trusses, are of matchless beauty and also delightfully frag- 

 rant. The colors, shades andtints are wonderfully varied, from 

 purest white through blush, pink, rose, etc., to deepest red, and 

 from daintiest porcelain through blues to black purple, from cream 

 through yellows to orange and rosy apricot, etc. Hyacinths suc- 

 ceed with every one and may be had in flower throughout the 

 winter, grown either in pots of soil or glasses of water, 

 while_ for gardens or bedded on the lawn they are gorgeously 

 effective when in flower during the spring The bulbs of different 

 varieties of hyacinths vary greatly in size and shape. Some making 

 very large smooth bulbs, others smaller irregularly shaped bulbs. 

 The latter, however, throw equally as fine trusses of bloom — some- 

 times better — than the larger bulbing varieties. In every case we 

 send out the largest and best bulbs that the variety produces.
