GRAPE HYACINTHS. 



These very curious and pretty little Hya- 

 cinths are perfectly hardy and of the easiest 

 culture, they thrive and increase in either 

 sunny or partially shaded positions in 

 the garden. When naturalized in little 

 colonies where they can remain un- 

 disturbed for several years, the effect 

 is very pretty, while as edgings 

 they are most charming. All are 

 also adapted for winter flowering 

 in the house in pots of soil or Hen- 

 derson's Prepared Fibre.

HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Early Koman Hyacinths* 



Roman Hyacinths are exceedingly popular and invaluable for winter flowering 

 in the house in pots or pans and are also e.xtensively used for " forcing " for cut 

 flowers. The flowers — smaller than those of the Dutch Hyacinths — are produced 

 in graceful trusses and in greater profusion the larger bulbs throwing four or five 

 spikes of bloom, the smaller bulbs two or three spikes each, and the flowers emit 

 a delicate fragrance. The white Roman Hyacinth is the earliest, best and most 

 floriferous variety, though the pink, rose and light blue are beautiful and supply a 

 variation of color. 



They are all easily grown in pots or pans of soil or in fibre. The bulbs — pro- 

 curable from August to November — 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 be had in flower in November or December, and from that time 

 throughout the winter a continuous succession of these 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. In planting in pots, pans or boxes, the bulbs are 

 placed pretty close together — a five-in. pot being sufficient 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. 



Roman Hyacinths as well as many other bulbs do wonderfully well when 

 grown in Henderson's Prepared Fibre (offered on page 47). The advantage is 

 that ornamental china bowls, fern dishes or other receptacles may be used without 

 drainage holes so they may be placed anywhere when the bulbs are in bud and 

 flower without danger of soiling carpet or furniture from drip. The Fibre is clean, 

 remains sweet and is nicer to pot with than soil. It contains all of the plant food 

 elements required by most bulbs, and retains an even moisture much longer than 

 soil, so that the bulb's development is not so likely to be checked by " drying out " 

 as often happens with bulbs grown in soil. Full instructions in our booklet " How to 

 Grow Bulbs in Henderson's Prepared Fibre " free to customers on request. 



We supply 6 Bulbs of one variety at the dozen rate, 25 at 

 the 100 rate, 250 at the 1,000 rate.
