Fortin's Giant. This is the largest variety yet produced; it is only adapted 

 for open ground planting and may not, show much superiority the first 

 spring after planting, but by the second season, or when it gets well es- 

 tablished, it produces wonderfully luxuriant foliage and immense spikes of 

 purest white bells twice the size of any other sort. In every way it is 

 superior. Crowns, 80c. per doz.; $0.00 per 100. 



SPRING FLOWERING CROCUS 



Including New Hybrid Varieties 



As edgings to beds— and bordering walks — or as undergrowth among tulips, hyacinths, daffo- 

 dils etc they are very effective as the flowers are over when the other bulbs begin blooming, 

 and then the crocus foliage forms a beautiful grass like setting for the later flowering bulbs. 



Crocus are also easily flowered in the house in winter, grown in pots and pans of soil. Foi 

 instructions see leaflet "How to Grow Bulbs" sent with every order. 



We have discontinued offering the cheap mixtures of Crocus as the larger bulbs — produce 

 more and larger flowers.

HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR FREESIAS 



Freesias are most popular for pot culture, flowering in the winter and spring 

 in the conservatory, or window garden; to 8 bulbs should be planted in a 

 1-inch pot. They force readily and can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, 

 and by having a dozen or more pots started in the cold frame they can be 

 brought in at intervals, thereby keeping up a continuous display of bloom through 

 the winter; the flowers arc produced to 8 on stems about 9 inches high. 

 Purity. A distinct and greatly improved type producing large sprays of purest 

 snow white flowers of immense size and deliriously fragrant ; it is very free bloom- 

 ing and of great value for forcing for cut flowers. Extra Size Bulbs, 60c. per 

 doz.; $4.50 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. Postpaid.

 orange, which we offer in mixed colors only. Very fragrant and free flowering. 

 Each. principal spike usually carries 7 to 9 flowers— while the side spikes of which 

 each bulb produces several, usually bear 5 to flowers. Their culture differs in no 

 way from that of the white Freesia.
