PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— SUPERIOR BULBS.— WHOLESALE, 



Henderson's Superior 



Bermuda Easter Lily 



LIL1UM HARRISII. 



We wish to lay particular stress upon the size and quality of our Bulbs 

 which are larger, healthier and better than those usually sold — for. the 

 reason that no expense is spared in fertilizing, cultivation and spraying to 

 produce bulbs free from disease. Experience having shown us that bulbs so 

 treated are incomparably superior, being of strong vigorous, healthy growth 

 and flower freely. Ours are the true Lilium Harrisii, so valuable for early 

 forcing. 



PRICES OF THE TRUE BERMUDA EASTER LILY BULBS. 



Bulbs Ready for Shipment — August to November.

 flowers. The bulbs should produce from 6 to 8

 This is the most popular size to grow as pot plants 

 for decoration and equally as valuable for cutting.

 ence.) These are usually grown for specimens in

"FORMOSA" LONfilFLORIM LILIES. 



FOR EARLY FORCING. 



This type of Lilium longifiorum from the Island of Formosa has been 

 grown by florists in the U. S. the past two seasons and has proven that it 

 can safely be forced earlier than any other longifiorum type (excepting L. 

 Harrisii). The plants are of healthy strong growth, producing freely, large 

 pure white flowers of splendid lasting substance. 



We understand that some stocks of alleged Formosa " Lilies " put out 

 last season were not quite satisfactory, being mixtures of various longifiorum 

 types, but regarding our strain, we have received several commendatory 

 letters with accompanying orders for " Henderson's Strain of Formosa 

 Longiflorums." Our bulbs are coming from the same grower this season as 

 in the past.
