HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1928 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR DOUBLE EARLY TULIPS 



Named Varieties including some Beautiful Novelties 



The letters A, B. C, etc., following the varieties indicate their earliness of bloom, the A's flower together and are the earliest: B's follow 

 before the A's are out of bloom, etc. The height is indicated in inches to aid in arranging flower beds. When bedded it is generally advisable 

 to use only one variety to a bed for best effect. The bulbs are planted 5 to 6 inches apart — and the depth should be according to the soil, 

 in heavy soils 3 to 4 inches to the base of the bulbs and in light soils an inch or so deeper. Instructions for forcing in pots for Winter blooming 

 will be found in our leafflet "How to Grow Bulbs" sent free with every order.
