HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE 



BERMUDA EASTER 

 LILY 



LILIUM LONGIFLORUM HARRISIIJ 



The short time required to bring this peerless Lily 

 into flower, renders it invaluable. 



The flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure waxy- 

 white, and if cut when partially open, can be kept for 

 two weeks. Bulbs potted in September can be had 

 in flower in December, if desired. 



A succession of bloom can be kept up throughout 

 the winter by bringing in a few pots of bulbs from cold 

 frames at intervals. Blooming plants in pots form 

 typical Easter offerings and presents for decoration 

 of the window, table, house or church. 



As a garden Lily it is of great beauty, being entirely 

 hardy, excepting in Northern climates, where it re- 

 quires a protection of leaves or litter to the depth of 5 

 or 6 inches. Bulbs Ready for Shipment — August to 

 December.

 ers. (Packed weight 2 lbs. doz.) 35c. ea.; $3.50 doz.;

THE FORMOSA EASTER LILY 



Bermuda Easter Lily (LILIUM LONGIFLORUM FORMOSUM) 



This is an improved type of the well known L. Longiflorum also known as the "Easter or St. Joseph's Lily." The 

 plants are of healthy strong growth — about 3 feet high and produce beautiful snow white trumpet shaped flowers, 

 6 to 8 inches long. This lily is largely grown by florists who "force" them as pot plants and for cut flowers. It is not 

 quite as early as Lilium Harrisii. For Shipment, 

 September to December. 

 Extra Size Bulbs, 7 to 9 inches. (Packed 



weight 2% doz.) 40c. ea.; $4.00 doz.; $30.00 



per 100. 



LILIUM LONGIFLORUM 

 GIGANTEUM 



This Japanese type is highly thought of for 

 late winter and Easter forcing — though the 

 bulbs of this variety are often carried over in 

 cold storage to be brought into bloom at any 

 desired time the succeeding year. The plant 

 is of sturdy stocky growth — with black marked 

 stems. The flowers of purest white are the 

 largest of the longiflorums. For shipment Octo- 

 ber to December. 

 Extra Size Bulbs, 7 to 9 inch. (Packed weight 



2\i lbs. doz.) 50c. ea.; $5.00 doz.; $37.50 



per 100. 



AMARYLLIS 



Giant Hybrid 



"INTERNATIONAL PRIZE" STRAIN 



Awarded the Prize at the Flower Show, 



New York 



These giant flowering hybrids of Vittata are 

 unnamed seedlings from a famous English Col- 

 lection and are of exceptional beauty. The 

 coloring and markings are exquisite; the bulbs 

 are very large, and are of sufficient strength and 

 age to produce magnificent flowers during the 

 winter or spring. They are probably the most 

 magnificent and gorgeous bulbous plants known. 

 Their immense flowers, richness of coloring and 

 regal habit are simply incomparable. They 

 throw up spikes from 2 to 3 feet high, bearing 

 enourmous wide petalled flowers averaging 8 to 

 10 inches across and of great substance, some 

 being of rich and glowing colors, others deli- 

 cately shaded and superbly veined. 



Mixed varieties, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz., 

 postpaid. 



We supply 6 Bulbs of one variety at the dozen rate, 25 at the 100 rate
