PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK—SUPERIOR BULBS—WHOLESALE. | 
HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR 
Early “Roman” Hyacinths. 
HE flowers, while smaller than those of the Dutch Hyacinth, yet 
tT are produced in much greater abundance—each bulb bearing 
several very graceful flower spikes. The delicious perfume, earli- 
ness and profusion of bloom have made Roman Hyacinths exceedingly 
popular; they are so easily grown and so early that if potted in August 
and September they can be brought into flower in November and 
December, and a succession 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 proven perfectly hardy, slightly protected. For cutting pur- 
poses the Roman Hyacinth is the finest bulb grown. (See cut.)

What Florists Think of * *% & 
Henderson’s Superior Roman Hyacinths. 
“TI ordered Roman Hyacinths of you in the fall and must say I never 
saw finer bulbs. Some of them had as many as fifteen, and a few had 
seventeen spikes of flowers.” J. O. GRABB, Cedartown, Ga. 
““ Your Roman Hyacinths turned out very satisfactory, as always. Send 
us prices for this season's bulbs and we will send you our order.”’ 
GRALLERT & CO., Colma, Cal. 
NARCISSUS, PAPER WHITE 
“Grandiflora,”’ or Large Flowering. 
This large flowering type is such an improvement over the 
ordinary ‘‘ Paper White’’ that we have discontinued offer- 
ing the latter. The ‘‘ Large Flowering’ is more vigorous 
and earlier, producing purest snow white flowers of large size 
and good substance in large trusses. The Paper White 
Narcissus is becoming very popular for growing in bowls of 
water like the Chinese Narcissus. In fact the Paper White 
gives so much better satisfaction than the Chinese Lily 
that it is supplanting the latter for water culture. 
Price of extra sized bulbs, 25c. per doz.; $1.00 per 100; 
$9.00 per 1000 
White Callas.—Dry Bulbs. 
(Expected for shipment in September.) 
The dry bulbs are superior for forcing purposes, as they 
come into bloom quickly and require less room—making 
less foliage. Dry bulbs will flower nearly twice as abundantly 
as plants that have been kept growing or only semi-dormant. 
Price, Mammoth bulbs, $1.00 doz.; $7.50 per 100; $60.00 
per 1000.
