HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE

UJAUIjUO flowering 



Including New Hybrid Varieties 



As edgings to beds — and bordering walks — or as 

 undergrowth among tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, etc., 

 they are very effective as the flowers are over when the 

 other bulbs begin blooming, and then the crocus foliage 

 forms a beautiful grass like setting for the later flower- 

 ing bulbs. 



Crocus are also easily flowered in the house in winter 

 grown in pots and pans of soil. For instructions see 

 leaflet "How to Grow Bulbs" sent with every order. 



We have discontinued offering the cheap mixtures of 

 Crocus as the larger bulbs — produce more and larger 

 flowers. 



If wanted by Parcel Post add postage at Zone Rates on

 Fortin's Giant. This is the largest variety yet produced; it is only adapted for open ground planting and may

 it produces wonderfully luxuriant foliage and immense spikes of purest white bells twice the size of any other sort. 

 In every way it is superior. Crowns, 80c. per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 



CALLA LILIES 



Calla Aethiopica, or Lily of the Nile.

forcing and winter-flowering purposes; they 



come into bloom quickly and require less 



room making less foliage. Extra large bulbs,

equally large, of perfect form and very much 



whiter. Properly treated, the same plant will 



grow and bloom without ceasing. The plant 



is of dwarf, compact, strong growth, about 18 



inches high, with an aburiaance of dark green 



leaves. Dormant bulbs, 35c. each, $3.50 per 



doz., postpaid.
