TlaTt 31 HENDERSON'S 

 FLOWER BULBS 



The Greatest Selection of Varieties and the Highest Quality 

 Imported Into America 



THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF BULBS.— 



Superior bulbs — the pick of the crops — are largely consumed by critical 

 European buyers, the "seconds" and "substitutes" being too often 

 purchased by less critical American dealers. We insist — with a penalty 

 attached — on being supplied with the same high-grade — true-to-name 

 — varieties that the Europeans get, and we see that we get this superior 

 grade by personally conducted trials. We have also excluded from our 

 importations many decadent, obsolete varieties, and have added 

 their more beautiful and strong-constitutioned successors. 



Henderson's Flower Bulbs therefore cost a little more than the 

 inferior grades frequently offered at little lower prices; but our cus- 

 tomers will appreciate the difference in quality. 



SPECIAL NOTICE 



Bulbs and roots mature and ripen at different periods during the 

 late summer and autumn, and shipments will be made as follows in 

 the absence of contrary instructions. 



Our August Shipment includes Liliums candidum •., formosum and Harrisii; Free- 

 sias; Roman and French Hyacinths; Paper-White and Roman Narcissi; Orni- 

 thogalum and Callas. 



Our September Shipment includes the general line of Bulbs, such as Hyacinths, 

 Tulips, Narcissi, Crocus, Iris, Peonies and most miscellaneous bulbs. 



Our November Shipment includes Lily-of-the-Valley, Spirea, Gladiolus, Ama- 

 ryllis, most Lilies, etc. 



The ground is sometimes frozen by the time our November 



shipments are ready, but, if customers will have the ground covered 



where the late-maturing sorts are to be planted, with about 2 feet of 



dry leaves, straw or manure, to prevent freezing, the bulbs can be 



planted with safety when received.
