PETER HENDERSON •& CO., NEW YORK.— SUPERIOR BULBS— WHOLESALE. 



Henderson's Superior 



Bermuda Easter Lily 



(LILIUM HARRISII.) 



The TRUE Bermuda Easter Lily is our Great Specialty. We were the 



pioneer introducers of it and have always been " Headquarters," supply- 

 ing the trade generally, both in Europe and America. 



We wish to lay particular stress upon the size and quality of our Bulbs 

 which are larger, healthier and better than those usually sold — for the 

 reason that no expense is spared in manuring and cultivating. Experi- 

 ence having shown us that bulbs so treated are incomparably superior to 

 bulbs grown on impoverished and unfertilized land year after year, which 

 constitutionally weakens the biilbs and they give results accordingly.

 giving you this order on the stre^igth of getting bulbs equal in health to those 

 we got from you last year, which produced tJte finest plants we had last season."

 of the otiter ficrists in tlic vicinity of Wlu;eling with bulbs from other sources." 

 OSCAR WRIGHT, Moundsvtile, W. Va. 



" I have been grooving your Harrisii bulbs for several years. Last season 

 I divided my order, placing one Iwlf with yott and tlie otlier half with another 

 prominent seedsman. Yours were the true Bermuda Harrisii, while th* 

 others were badly mixed with a worthless variety which grew to enormous 

 height with a very small flower. Your lialf were all of an even size -atth flowers 

 of an excellent quality. I had tlie honor of liaving the finest Lilies in Pitts- 

 burgh from your bulbs. There were but few of your plants diseased — prob- 

 ably 50 in the whole batch of 6,000 bulbs. You will have my full order next 

 season." WM. F. LA UCH, Florist, Carrick, Pa. 



The bulbs from you last season were very satisfactory. Tlie Lilium 

 Harrisii were especially good, averaging 5 to 10 flowers per stem — and th* 

 flowers were very fine." WM. S. WILSON, Concord, N. H,

 all right, they were a nice lot." WILLIS E. HAMILTON, Florist,
