PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— NOVELTIES IN BULBS. 



♦ ♦ . Double Hmar^lUs . . ♦ 



(AMARYLLIS BQUBSTRIS FL. PL.) 



One of the most magnificent and gorgeous bulbous 

 plants grown. The immense double flowers, rich 

 Ujiht scarlet color with white shadings, and regal 

 habit are simply incomparable. They throw up 

 spikes from 18 inches to 2 feet high, bearing large 

 double flowers of great substance, averaging 6 to 

 10 inches across. For pot culture in the window, 

 conservatory or greenhouse they are well adapted, 

 and when in bloom in the winter and spring months 

 no flower can approach their beauty. (See cut.) 

 (Ready 171 November.) Price, $2.00 each. 



♦..Xarge l^ellow freesia... 



(F. LEICHTLimi MAJOR.) 



Freesias are among our most popular bulbs for 

 pot culture, flowering in the winter and spring in 

 the conservatory or window garden. This large 

 yellow-flowered variety is charming, with large prim- 

 rose yellow flowers marked with orange blotches, 

 and very fragrant. Six or eight bulbs should be 

 planted in a 4-inch pot. The flowers are produced 

 6 to 8 on stems about 9 inches high, and are par- 

 ticularly useful for cutting, remaining in good 

 condition for two weeks when kept in water. 



Price, 5c. each, 6 for 25c., 45c. per doz., S3.00 

 per 100. 



IRcb Calla ♦ ♦ ♦ ^arum cornutum.) 



A very handsome Arum with red flowers spotted 

 with black : stems curiously mottled green and 

 white; foliage palm-like and very handsome; a 

 showy pot plant for winter decoration. 



Price, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Ife ing of Snowbvope. 



(GALANTHVS CASSABA-ROBUSTA.) 



A new introduction and one of the best in the genus. The foliage is large, the growth robust 

 and taller than others. The flowers are immense for a Snowdrop, having sepals over an inch 

 long and rather broad, pure white, with intense dark green inner divisions; the flower stems 

 are thick and upright and fine for cutting; the bulbs are large. In the early spring months 

 there is nothing more beautiful than these snowy, graceful blossoms. Eftects of surpassing 

 beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops, mingling blue Scillas or Chionodoxas with them. 

 Price, 10c. each, 3 for '.!5c., 80c. per doz., $6.00 per 100. 



(LEUCOJUM . . . 

 CARPATHICUM.) 



^ m\i Spring Snowflafee. 



This is similar to Leucojum Vernum, but much larger and decidedly more beautiful; the 

 flowers, like monster snowdrops, often measure an inch across, are pure snow-white tipped with 

 bright green. As the flowers open the yellow anthers are plainly shown, adding their 

 charm to the exquisite flowers, which are borne in clusters on stout stalks about 9 inches high ; 

 the flowers are also deliciously fragrant. It is one of our earliest spring flowers, perfectly 

 hardy, handsome in outline and prized for bouquets. When established, it produces enormous 

 quantities of flowers. It can also be slowly forced in pots for winter bloom, 

 (See cut.) Price, 15c. each, 3 for 40c., 6 for 75c., 12 for $1.23. 



3f: 



Ottln'S Giant*»» ^tlv? a tbc l^anes. 



This l8 the largest variety yet produced ; it is only adapted for open ground 

 planting and may not show much superiority the first spring after planting, 

 but by the second season, when it gets well established, it produces wonder- 

 fully luxuriant foliage and immense spikes crowded with purest white bells 

 twice the size of any other sort. In every way it is a superior plant. 



Price, large single crowns, 10c. each, 3 for 25c., 85c. per doz., $6.00 per 100.
