BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTHMC 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR FREESIAS 



Freesias are most popular and charming bulbs for pot culture, flowering in the 

 winter and spring in the conservatory, or window garden; 6 or 8 bulbs should be 

 planted in a 4-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 are produced 6 to 8 en stems about 9 inches high, and are 

 particularly useful for cutting, remaining in good condition kept in water for two 

 weeks. (See cut.) 



Refracta Alba. The flowers are pure white with a yellow blotched throat and are ex- 

 quisitely fragrant. Mammoth Bulbs, 3oc. per doz.; S2.oO per 100; or delivered 

 $2.65 per 100. 



GIANT WHITE FREESIA PURITY. 



A distinct and greatly improved type producing large sprays of purest snow white 

 flowers of immense size and deliciously fragrant; it is very free blooming and of great 

 value for forcing for cut flowers. 



Mammoth Bulbs, oOc. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; or delivered S3. 65 per 100. 



NEW COLORED FREESIAS. 



These beautiful novelties are rapidly winning favor on account of their lovely and 

 unique colorings and shadings, their delicate fragrance and their free blooming qualvlies. 

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

 bulb produces several usually bear o to 6 flowers. Their culture differs in no way from that 

 of Freesia Refracta.

EAKLY^FLOWERING GLADIOLUS. 



These Gladiolus are invaluable for flowering in the greenhouse for winter bloom. The flowers are smaller 

 and more refined than thoss of the Gandavensis Gladiolus; the colors and markings are very handsome; 

 the bulbs can be kept dormant until spring and then be planted in open ground if preferred, blooming 

 in June and July. If planted in cold frames they will flower as early as May. and this is perhaps the 

 better way in very cold localities. (Ready in November.) (For Free Delivery in the U. S. add 4c. per 

 doz. or 25c. per 100 )
