PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. 



WHITE SOMAN 

 HYACINTH. 



WHITE ITALIAN OR ^^ 

 ^J. PARISIAN HYACINTHS. 



These are extensively grown by florists for the flower markets, 

 as the profusion of bloom, fragrance and graceful spilies render 

 them very popular for cutting purposes. They flower quickly 

 after being potted and deserve to be more largely grown. 

 The bulbs are red-skinned and bloom a little later than White 

 Eomans, and therefore are valuable for succession ; valuable for 

 outside planting for cutting purposes in the spring. 



Price, 5c. each, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 

 Delivered, free in the United States at the si'ngle and dozen price, but at 

 the 100 rate purchaser pays transit. 



^^ PAN HYACINTHS. ^Ji 



The Hollanders practice this method of growing Hyacinths for 

 winter flowering in the house with most satisfactory results : 10 to 

 12 bulbs are planted in earthen pans, 8 or 9 inches across. Several 

 of these pans can be filled and put away to root in the usual man- 

 ner, and by bringing them in at intervals a beautiful display can 

 be enjoyed for weeks. Bulbs of one variety are usually preferred 

 because they will all flower at the same time, though, if a person 

 prefers a variety of colors in one pan, selections can be made from 

 the undermentioned colors which all bloom at about the same time, 

 under the same growing conditions. 



Pure White, Tinted White, Pink, Crimson, Iiig'ht 

 Blue, Dark Bine or Slixed Colors. 



Price, 5c. each, 50c. per doz., delivered free in the United States

ordinary Dutch Hyacinth, yet are produced ^^^%~ 



in much greater abundaace. each bulb pro- 

 ducing several gracefuU spikes of bloom ; their 

 delicious perfume, earliness and profusion of bloom 

 have made Roman Hyacinths exceedingly popular. 

 They are so easily grown and so earl y that if potted 

 in August and September tliey can be brought into flower 

 in November and December, and by a succession of plant- 

 ings can be had in bloom throughout the winter. Roman 



Hv acmths are not considered hardy enough for open ground culture north of 'Washington, 

 though in our grounds near New York they have proved perfectly hardy, slightly protected. 

 For cutting purposes the Roman Hyacinth is the finest bulb grown. (See cut.)
