HENDERSON'S BULB BARGAINS OFFERED UNTIL JULY 15th 



A Special Notice to Daffodil Lovers 



Everybody loves Daffodils and Narcissus and we, 

 with all others, regret exceedingly the ruling of the 

 Federal Horticultural -Board, known as QUARAN- 

 TINE No, 37, prohibiting their importation after 

 the present year. 



This ruling means that the Federal Horticultural 

 Board at Washington, has decided that there is dan- 

 ger of spreading certain plant diseases if the importa- 

 tion of Narcissus and Daffodils is allowed to continue, 

 and the prohibit ion alsj extends to certain miscel- 

 laneous Bulbs which will be found listed in this cata- 

 logue on page 17. The importation of these 

 varieties into the United States is prohibited 

 after December 31st, 1925. 



All Bulb Growers and Dealers are of the opinion 

 that inspection of imported Bulbs by competent men 

 would avert all danger of plant infection and they 

 think that the extreme measures about to be enforced 

 are nol necessary . 



Daffodils and Narcissus are mostly imported from 

 Holland and already the growers over there have 

 restricted the areas usually set aside for their produc- 

 tion next year. This means that an unusually large 

 quantity will be imported into America this year, 

 the last year of grace, and even, if it were to come 

 about that the ban against their importation was 

 raised, there will be a great scarcity for some years 

 to come, and a great advance in the prices of the 

 Bulbs. 



We therefore advise all our customers who 

 love Daffodils, to order Daffodils and all other 

 Bulbs they require as soon as they receive this 

 catalogue, and we will include the order with 

 ours 



This will insure to customers who avail themselves 

 of this opportunity, a supply of the "cream" of the 

 various stocks offered as they are always the first to 

 be disposed of by the growers. 



We will then deliver the Bulbs as soon as they 

 arrive in America this Fall. 



If You Want Beautiful Bulbous Flowers 



In your house next winter, or in your garden next Spring 



You must plant the Bulbs this coming Fall! 



ORDER BEFORE JULY 15th— Take advantage of our quoted 



import prices in this catalogue, which are lower than those that 

 will prevail in the Fall, and let us have your order not later 

 than July loth. We will then import your orders with our 

 own and deliver the Bulbs to you in perfectly fresh condition, 

 as soon as they arrive in America early in the Fall. These orders 

 being specially imported for you with our own, will not be sub- 

 ject to cancellation. 



Bulbs are practically all grown in Holland and as we are 

 large importers we get the pick and import only "firsts." Bulbs 

 sold by local dealers in the fall are usually "seconds." Having 

 been engaged in the bulb importing business for three-quarters 

 of a century, we know intimately all the best growers of the 

 different varieties in Holland; some excel in growing one kind, 



and some in another, so that we are in a position to get the best 

 qualities of All Varieties.

 ent periods during the late summer and autumn, and shipments
