PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.-BULBS. 



■WHITE ROMAN HYACINTH. 



HE flowers, while smaller than those of the ordinary Dutch 

 Hyacinth, yet are produced in much greater abundance — 

 each bulb producing several very graceful spikes of bloom ; 

 their delicious perfume, earliness and profusion of bloom have made Roman Hyacinths ex- 

 ceedingly popular. They are so easily grown and so early that if potted in August and Septem- 

 ber they can be brought into flower in November and December, and by a succession of plant- 

 ings can be had in bloom throughout the winter. Roman Hyacinths are not considered hardy 

 enough for open ground culture north of Washington, though in our grounds near New York 

 they have proved perfectly hardy, slightly protected. For cutting purposes the Koman Hyacinth 

 is the finest bulb grown. (See cut.)

These are extensively grown by florists for the Paris flower market, as the profusion of bloom, fra- 

 grance 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 ; valuable for outside planting for cutting 



purposes in the spring. (See cut.)

WHITE ITALIAN HYACINTH. 



Grape Hyacinths. 



Very pretty, producing flowering 

 spikes about 6 inches high, with 

 little round bells so arranged as 

 to resemble a bunch of grapes. 

 Admirable for permanent 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. (See cut.)

A small-growing Hyacinth of a purplish color, emitting, when in flower, a 

 strong and very agreeable musky odor. Valuable for pot culture, and well 

 worth growing in clumps in the open ground.

FEATHERED HYflCIjiTHS. 



Exceedingly pretty, feathery, plume-like spikes, averaging 9 to 12 inches high. 

 Few plants are more striking in the garden or more useful for cutting.
