HENDERSON'S 

 SUPERIOR 



FREESIAS. 



Among the most popular and charming bulbs we offer for pot cul- 

 ture, flowering in the winter and spring in the conservatory, or window 

 garden. 6 or 8 bulbs should be planted in a 4-inch pot. They force 

 readily and can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, and by 

 having a dozen or more pots started in the cold frame they can be 

 brought in at intervals, thereby keeping up a continuous d'splay of 

 bloom through the winter; the flowers are produced 6 to 8 on stems 

 about 9 inches high, and are particularly useful for cutting, remain- 

 ing in good condition kept in water for two weeks. 

 Refracta Alba. The flowers are pure white with a yellow blotched 



throat and are exquisitely fragrant. (See cut.)

HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



LILY or the VALLEY. 



The Lily of the Valley is one of the most usefuland greatly admired 

 plants grown; the modest bell-shaped flowers of purest white are 

 highly prized for cutting purposes, and for flowering in pots in the 

 winter they are exceedingly well adapted and will last several weeks 

 in beauty. By taking them in at intervals a succession of flowers 

 may be kept up all winter. They are also forced in immense quanti- 

 ties by florists but they are the most charming when grown in large 

 patches, in partially shaded localities around thelawn.near the bor- 

 ders of streams, lakes, etc., being perfectly hardy. (Ready for de- 

 livery in November.)

 Fortin's Ciant Lily of the Valley. This is the largest variety yet pro- 

 duced ; 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-
