PETER HENDERSON & CO., New York 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



DOUBLE DUTCH NAMED HYACINTHS 



All Select First Bulbs, not "Seconds" that may be sold at a lower price. 



Double Hyacinths are not as popular as the single-belled varieties; for as a class the "doubles" although their individual bells are large and beautiful, 

 do not make as well-filled trusses. For this reason we confine our list of varieties to a few of the very best. The figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 after the names 

 of Hyacinths Indicate the relative time of flowering — the l'e flower together and are the earliest; No. 4 the latest. If wanted by Parcel Post add pontage, at 

 tint rate.t on page 2 of cover. Packed weight 3 lb. per dozen. 



PRICE— 20c. EACH; $2.00 PER DOZEN; $16.00 PER HUNDRED.

Henderson's "SPECIAL" HYACINTHS 



FOR BEDDING OR POT CULTURE WITHOUT NAMES— CHEAPER THAN 

 NAMED VARIETIES— FAR BETTER THAN MIXED. 



Henderson's Special Hyacinths (equally useful for garden, bedding and borders, or forced for 

 winter flowering In pots or pans) are larger sized bulbs than those put in ordinary mixtures. They 

 are the same age as the first size Named Hyacinth offered by us from which these are the second selection. 

 They are of great value for bedding in designs, enabling one to obtain the exact color effect desired 

 which is a great advantage over mixed reds and mixed blues. In beds, borders, etc., set the bulbs 6 to 6 

 inches part and 4 inches deep measuring from the top of the bulb. They are much used for winter 



blooming in pots. Plant or pot hyacinth bulbs between September and the last of November — the earlier 

 the better — as It giveB them a longer period to make roots before winter sets in and the flowers will be 

 "better developed. 



Plant 1 bulb in a 6-in. pot, 3 bulbs in a 6 or 7-in. pot, 6 or 7 bulbs in an 8-in. pot or pan.

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS 



Roman Hyacinths are exceedingly popular and invaluable for winter flowering in the house in 

 pots or pans, and arc also extensively used for "forcing" for cut flowers. The white Roman Hyacinth 

 is the earliest, best and most floriferous variety, though the pink, rose, and light blue are very beautiful 

 and supply a variation of color. 



They are all easily grown in pots of soil and if potted in September, the pots plunged in the open 

 ground for a month until the bulbs are well rooted, and then brought in the house they can be had in 

 flower in November or December, and from that time throughout the winter a continuous succession of 

 delightful flowers may be enjoyed by bringing in from the plunge or cellar a pot or two of the rooted 

 bulbs at intervals of about two weeks. A five-in. pot is large enough for 3 bulbs, a six-inch pot or pan 

 for 6 bulbs, a seven-inch pot or pan for 8 bulbs. Roman Hyacinths are not hardy enough for open 

 ground planting north of Washington, but where the winters are mild, especially if lightly protected with 

 mulch they thrive excellently in the garden.
