PETER HENDERSON & CO.— NEW AND SCARCE BULBS. 



Fritillaria Meleagris. 



A beautiful group of dwarf spring flowering plants. 

 bearing bell-shaped flowers of various colors, yellow, 

 white, black, purple, Striped and splashed in the most 

 curious way. 



Hardy Gladiolus. 



These bloom earlier than the varieties of Gandavenxix, 

 and should be planted out during the Fall. Although 

 termed hardy, they will be all the hotter of a covering of 

 hay or straw, put on about the first of December. A full 

 listol the best named varieties of Gandanensis will bo 

 found in our Catalogue for 1S83, of " Everything for the 

 leu." 



Byzantinus, rosy purple, very early. 

 Colvilli. lilac, Bowers very early. 



alba, splendid, pure white, summer- flowi 

 Communis roseus, bright rose, flowers very early. 

 Floribundus, while, purple striped. 

 Queen Victoria, bright scarletaud white. 

 Ramosus, bright salmon rose and white. 

 Any of the above, 25c each, or set of 7 for $1.50. 



Early White Roman Hyacinths. 



For the benefit of those who have uever grown the 

 Roman Hyacinth, we would state that the essential 

 points of culture are identical with those of the ordinary 

 Hyacinth, that is it must be kept cool after being potted, 

 and until the pots have become filled with roots, it must 

 not be forced. The Roman Hyacinths may be potted 

 after October 1st, and successive lots every two or three 

 weeks, if wanted during the winter months — those pot- 



ted by October 1st, will, by being plunged to the rim of 

 the pot in a cool place, have formed roots by the middle- 

 of November and if then started and grown in a night 

 temperature in the green-house of 55 or 60 degrees, will 

 be in bloom about Christmas or New Year. As the Ro- 

 man Hyacinth is small in size, a lour inch pot will bo 

 large enough for each bulb. Bach bulb will average 

 about two flowers each, lis pearly whiteness and de- 

 licious odor makes it indispensable in all fine floral work. 

 Extra Selected Bulb each ; $1.25 per dozen ; 



$7.50 per 100. 



Single Blue Roman Hyacinths, and Sin- 

 gle Rose Roman Hyacinths. 



Both of these kinds flower from two to three weeks 

 later than the Early White offered above. 

 Price, $1.00 per dozen, $6.00 per 100. 



Guernsey Lily. 



(Nirene Sarniensis.) 

 The beautiful flowers of this Lily are of an intense- 

 scarlet crimson, and in the sun's rays appear as if span- 

 gled with gold dust. 



60c each. 



Belladonna Lily. 



(Amaryllis Belladonna Major.) 

 Produces in clusters, white flowers, flushed and tipped 

 with deep rose. Both this and preceding variety are 

 well worthy extended cultivation. 

 75c each. 



Corbularia. 



(Hoop Petticoat.) 

 This genus, commonly called " Hoop Petticoat," bears 

 exceedingly ornamental flowers of bright yellow, and is 

 well suited for pot culture. Although quite hardy, like 

 most Dutch Bulbs, it is all the better of a slight protection 

 of leaves or manure. 



25c each.
