HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE 



HENDERSON'S 



LATE OR MAY-FLOWERING 



COTTAGE TULIPS 



Originally found growing in the old cottage gardens of England, Scotland, Ireland and France. AH are very 

 beautiful, showing great variety in form and coloring, and having none of the stiffness of other tulips. For cutting 

 they are greatly prized on account of their long stems and graceful habit. Being extremely hardy they are specially 

 adapted for hardy flower borders, where they should be planted in large clumps and masses. To aid in making 

 selections for continuity of bloom, etc., the relative time of flowering is indicated by the letters E, F, G, H and I. 

 Those marked E being the earliest. Those marked I are the latest to bloom. The normal height is also given in 

 inches. In planting the bulbs should be placed 5 inches apart and the bottom of the bulb should be 6 to 7 inches 

 below the surface in light soils and 5 to 6 inches deep in heavy soils. If planted too shallow some may come blind. 



The varieties marked * are especially good for winter flowering and forcing.
