"The bulb gardens at the Henderson Seed Farm on River road,

 map showing how to reach the grounds, which were visited last 

 week-end by hundreds of people. 



"Many of the early varieties on view last week have disappeared 

 but. their places have been filled by the late-flowering Tulips." said 

 a representative of Peter Henderson & Co. 



"The kinds now blooming or coming into bloom are Darwin. 

 Cottage. Breeder, Bybloemen, Rembrandt and Parrot Tulips. 



Henderson 's 1928 Exhibition 



The International Flower Show was held at Grand Central Palace, 

 New York City. March 19th to 24th, 1928. Many of our customers 

 and friends who had an opportunity to visit the show, were enthusi- 

 astic in their praise of our exhibit which occupied a space of 475 square 

 feet. 



It consisted of an extensive collection of bulbous flowers growing 

 in pots arranged on a terrace, with a pergola covered with climbing 

 roses in the background. A picture of It Is shown in colors on 

 the front cover of this catalogue. 



We were awarded a GOLD MEDAL for our new Tulip MARY 

 EATON 



"These late tulips are certainly the finest material there is in the 

 gardening world; for every conceivable shade may be found among 

 them except pure blue. Mixed planting of Darwins are popular 

 because of their soft colors: combinations of lavenders, lilacs, mauves 

 and various shades of pink and rose color, being contrasted with 

 scarlets, crimsons and maroons." 



The grounds are open on week days and Sundays and all visitors 

 are welcome.
