PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— SUPERIOR BULBS.— WHOLESALE. 



HENDERSON'S 

 SUPERIOR 



Narcissus Bulbs. 



All first size, strong flowering bulbs — we do not handle the cheaper "seconds." 

 The figures following the name of the variety indicates its relative earliness: 

 (1) 1st early; (2) 2nd early; (3) mid-season; (4) late; (5) very late. 



Ajnong spring flowering bulbous plants the Narcissus family- — which includes 

 Daffodils and Jonquils — is one of the most important and of world-wide popu- 

 larity. The recent wonderful creations in the way of new varieties having awakened 

 a new interest amounting to enthusiasm with flower lovers. With the exception 

 of the Polyanthus varieties all are as hardy as rocks, grow, increase and flower 

 year after year in the open ground. 



But Narcissus and Daffodils are not only valuable for open ground cultivation 

 they are equally as important for winter flowering in the green house or window 

 grown in pots, pans or flats of soil or in bowls of fibre. For winter flowering the 

 bulbs should be potted as early as possible in the autumn (for all Narcissus are 

 impatient to start root gro^vth) then the pots should be plunged on open ground 

 where water will not settle, cover with leaf mould, soil, tanbark or similar material 

 until rooted. 



Always force Narcissus cool for too much heat is detrimental. After the bulbs 

 are taken from the plunge then remove to where they are to be flowered where 

 60° will be ideal and more than 70° is to be deplored.
