HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1928 



GRAND NEW 



HENDERSON'S 



EXHIBITION HYACINTHS 



Hyacinths are among tlie most popular and satisfactory hardy 

 flowers bulbs grown. Their wax-like bell-formed flowers, borne in 

 buxom trusses, are of matchless beauty and also delightfully fragrant. 

 The colors, shades and tints are wonderfully varied, from purest white 

 through blush, pink, rose, etc.. to deepest red, and from daintiest 

 porcelain through blue to black purple, from cream through yellows to 

 orange and rosy apricot, etc. Hyacinths succeed with every one and 

 may be had in flower throughout the winter, grown either in pots of 

 soil or glasses of water, while for gardens or bedded on the lawn they 

 are very satisfying and effective, furnishing as they do the first good 

 show of spring flower.
