PETER HENDERSON & CO., 35 and 37 Cortlandt Street, NEW YORK 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Double Dutch Named Hyacinths 



All Select First Size Bulbs, not "Seconds" that may be sold at a lower price. 



Double Hyacinths are not as popular as the single-belled varieties; for as a class the "doubles" although their individual bells are large and beautiful 

 io not make as well-filled trusses. For this reason we confine our list of varieties- to a few of the very best. The figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 after the names 

 of Hyacinths indicate the relative time of flowering — the l's flower together and are the earliest; No. 4 the latest.

Henderson's Special' 1 Hyacinths 



FOR BEDDING OR POT CULTURE WITHOUT NAMES— CHEAPER THAN 

 NAMED VARIETIES— FAR BETTER THAN MIXED 



Henderson's Special Hyacinths (equally useful for garden, bedding and borders, or forced for winter 

 flowering in pots or puus) are larger sized bulbs than those put in ordinary mixtures. They are the same 

 age as the first size Named Hyacinth offered by us from which these are the second selection. They 

 are of great value for bedding in designs, enabling one to obtain the exact color effect desired which is a 

 great advantage over mixed reds and mixed blues. In beds, borders, etc., set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches 

 apart and 4 inches deep measuring from the top of the bulb. They are much used for winter blooming 

 in pots. Plant or pot hyacinth bulbs between September and the last of November — the earlier the 

 better — as it gives them a longer period to make roots before winter sets in and the flowers will be better 

 developed. 



Plant I bulb i« a 5-iu. pot , 3 bulbs in a 6 or 7-iu. pot, 6 or 7 bulbs in an 8-in. pot or pan.

Early Roman Hyacinths 



Roman Hyacinths are exceedingly popular and invaluable for winter flowering in the house in pots 

 or pans, and are also extensively used for "forcing" for cut flowers. The white Roman Hyacinth is 

 the earliest, best and most floriferous variety, though the pink, rose, and light blue are very beautiful 

 and supply a variation of color. 



They are all easily grown in pots of soil and if potted in September, the pots plunged in the open 

 ground for a month until the bulbs are well rooted, and then brought in the house they can be had in 

 flower in November or December, and from that time throughout the winter a continuous succession of 

 delightful flowers may be enjoyed by bringing in from the plunge or cellar a pot or two of the rooted 

 bulbs at intervals of about two weeks. A five-in. pot is large enough for 3 bulbs, a six-inch pot or pan 

 for 6 bulbs, a seven-inch pot or pan for 8 bulbs. Roman Hyacinths are not hardy enough for open 

 ground planting north of Washington, but where the winters are mild, especially if lightly protected with 

 mulch they thrive excellently in the garden.

"DUTCH ROMAN" HYACINTHS 



The smaller or three year old bulbs of some varieties of Dutch Hyacinths produce, considering their 

 size, beautiful spikes of bloom, not as large nor furnished with as|many bells as older full sized bulbs but 

 still so satisfactory for their low price that they are extensively grown for winter flowers, forced either 

 in "flats" pans or pots. They may be had in flower from January on — thus succeeding the earlier 

 French Romans. The bulbs may be placed very near together — say ^ an i Qcn apart — requiring 7 or 

 8 bulbs for a 7 inch pan or 5 bulbs for a 5 inch pot or pan.
