HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR FREESIAS 



Freesias are popular for pot culture, flowering in the winter and 

 spring in the conservatory, or window garden. 6 to 8 bulbs should 

 be planted in a 4-inch pot. They can be had in bloom by Christmas 

 if desired, and by having a dozen pots started in the cold frame and 

 brought in at intervals, keep up a display through the winter. 

 Purity. Produces large sprays of snow white flowers deliciously 



fragrant; free blooming and of great value for forcing for cut 



flowers. Extra Size Bulbs, 75c. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; §45.00 



per 1000. 



THE "FARDEL" COLORED FREESIAS 



These beautiful novelties are winning favor on account of their 

 lovely and unique colorings, shades of pink, mauve, purple, violet, 

 blue, yellow and orange. Very fragrant and free flowering. Each 

 principal spike usually carries 7 to 9 flowers — while the side spikes 

 usually bear 5 to 6 flowers. Their culture differs in no way from 

 that of the white Freesia. (See illustration.)

 invaluable for pot culture and exceedingly pretty when grown in large groups in the garden border or 

 wild garden in a dry situation. Mixed varieties, 80c. doz.; S6.00 per 100. 



Grape Hyacinths 



These very curious and pretty little Hyacinths are perfectly hardy and of the easiest culture, they 

 thrive and increase in either sunny or partially shaded positions in the garden. When naturalized in little 

 colonies where they can remain undisturbed for several years, the effect — especially of the GrapeHyacinths 

 — is very pretty, while as edgings they are most charming. All are also adapted for winter flowering in the 

 house.

Ixias 



The Ixia is a beautiful little winter-flowering bulb, 

 with long, slender, graceful spikes of bloom. The 

 colors are rich, varied and beautiful, the centre 

 always differing in color from the other parts of the 

 flower, so that the blossoms, expanding in the sun's 

 rays, present a picture of gorgeous beauty. Mixed 

 Colors, 35c. per dozen; $2.50 per 100.

 planting and may not show much superiority the 

 first sprine after planting, hut by the second season, 

 or when it gets well established, it produces wonder- 

 fully luxuriant foliage and immense spikes of purest, 

 white bells. Crowns, SI. 00 per doz.; S7.50 per 100.
