HENDERSON'S DOUBLE 



Dutch Named Hyacinths 



All Select First Size Bulbs, not "Seconds" that may be sold 

 at a lower price 



Double Hyacinths are not as popular as the single-belled varieties; for as 

 a class the "doubles" although their individual bells are large and beautiful 

 do not make as well-filled trusses. For this reason we confine our list of 

 varieties to a few of the very best.

Early Roman Hyacinths 



Roman Hyacinths are extensively used for "forcing" for cut flowers. The 

 white Roman Hyacinth is the earliest, best and most floriferous variety, 

 though the pink, and light blue are very beautiful and supply a variation 

 of color. 



They are all easily grown in pots of soil and if potted in September, the 

 pots plunged in the open ground for a month until the bulbs are well rooted, 

 and then brought in the house they can be had in flower in November or 

 December, and from that time a succession of flowers may be enjoyed by 

 bringing in from the plunge or cellar a pot or two of the rooted bulbs at in- 

 tervals of about two weeks. A flve-in. pot is large enough for 3 bulbs, a six- 

 inch pot or pan for 6 bulbs, a seven-inch pot or pan for 8 bulbs. Roman 

 Hyacinths are not hardy enough for open ground planting north of Wash- 

 ington, but where the winters are mild, especially if lightly protected with 

 mulch they thrive excellently in the garden.

DUTCH ROMAN HYACINTHS 



The smaller or three-year old bulbs of some varieties of Dutch Hyacinths pro- 

 duce, considering their size, beautiful spikes of bloom, not as large nor furnished 

 with as many bells as older-full-sized bulbs but still so satisfactory for their low 

 price that they are extensively grown for winter flowers, forced either in "flats" 

 pans or pots. They may be had in flower from January on — thus succeeding 

 the earlier French Romans. The bulbs may be placed very near together — 

 say — an inch apart — requiring 7 or 8 bulbs for a 7-inch pan or 5 bulbs for a 

 5-inch pot or pan.
