HENDERSON'S 



GRAND NEW EXHIBITION HYACINTHS 



Hyacinths are among the most popular and satisfactory hardy 

 flowers bulbs grown. Their wax-like bell-formed flowers, borne in 

 buxom trusses, are of matchless beauty and also delightfully fragrant. 

 The colors, shades and tints are wonderfully varied, from purest white 

 through blush, pink, rose, etc., to deepest red, and from daintiest 

 porcelain through blue to black purple, from cream through yellows to 

 orange and rosy apricot, etc. Hyacinths succeed with every one and 

 may be had in flower throughout the winter, grown either in pots of 

 soil or glasses of water, while for gardens or bedded on the lawn they 

 are very satisfying and effective, furnishing as they do the first good 

 show of spring flower.

I ordered my bulbs early, last year, and can truthfully say that I never 

 had nicer bulbs and never saw any nicer flowers than we had this year. 

 Their beauty was beyond description and the comments we received were 

 many. I am convinced that early orders insure better bulbs and better 

 flowers, hence this order.

 This makes the 20th year with you and I have always been satisfied. 

 The Hyacinth Bulbs you sent me last fall are just about finished and 

 they were beautiful. I never saw such gorgeous colors.
