PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— SUPERIOR^BULBS— WHOLESALE. 



Henderson's Superior 



Bermuda Easter Lily 



(LILIUM HARRIS!!.) 



The TRUE Bermuda Easter Lily is our Great Specialty. We were the 

 pioneer introducers of it and have always been " Headquarters," supply- 

 ing the trade generally, both in Europe ^d America. 



We wisli to lay particular stress upon the size and quality of our Bulbs 

 which are larger, healthier and better than those usually sold — ^for the 

 reason that no expense is spared in manuring and cultivating. Experi- 

 ence having shown us that bulbs so treated are incomparably superior to 

 bulbs grown on impoverished and unfertilized land year after year, which 

 constitutionally weakens the bulbs and they give results accordingly.

 OSCAR WRIGHT, Moundsville. W. Va. 



' / have been grooving your Harrisii bulbs for several years. Last season 

 I divided my order, placing one half with you and the other Italf with another 

 prominent seedsman. Yours were the true Bermuda Harrisii, while t)je 

 others were badly mixed wtth a worthless variety which grew to enormous 

 Iteight wtth a very small -flower. Your lialf were all of an even size with flowers 

 of an excellent quality. I had the Iwtior of luiving the finest-Lilies in Pitts- 

 burgh from your bulbs. There were but few of ycnir plants diseased — prob- 

 ably 50 in the whole batch of 6,000 bulbs. You will have my full order next 

 season." ^WM. F. LAUCH, Florist, Carrtck, Pa.

 Harrisii were especially good, averaging 5 to 10 flowers per stem — and th* 

 flowers were very fine." WM. S. WILSON, Concord, N. H,
