Henderson's Grand New Hyacinths 



THE ACME OF PERFECTION IN HYACINTH EVOLUTION. 



All ripened by the new Holland treatment which promotes earliness, perfect development of flowers, larger trusses and bigger bells. 



HENDERSON'S Grand New Hyacinths represent the pinnacle of perfection in hyacinth evolution; the newest, choicest and best productions of Holland's famous 

 hyacinth breeders. They nearly all bear broad thick petalled giant bells on tall handsome well-filled round-topped spikes. The colorings are distinct and 

 superb — some rich and glowing, others dainty and exquisite. We unreservedly recommend them to all who want some superlatively fine hyacinths for winter 

 flowering in the house or for exhibition. The bulbs are all of "top-root" size which in Holland means the pick of the crop, bulbs in which are stored in embryo the 

 maximum number of bells exactly as they are afterwards developed by the purchaser. All being fresh blooded hybrids or sports, they are naturally more healthy 

 and robust than many of the degenerating old varieties and in consequence thrive and flower especially well when grown under artificial conditions either in pots 

 or pans, in soil, or in bowls of fertilized fibre, or in glasses of water. Of course they are equally superior for garden culture where their higher cost can be afforded. 



HENDERSON'S GRAND NEW HYACINTHS. In addition to their other superior merits the bulbs have all been ripened and matured by the recently discovered 

 Holland method of treatment, :'. e., lifting the bulbs about two weeks before the usual time and storing them on sand, moss or peat in darkened "treating" houses 

 where they are subjected to artificial heat of tropical intensity. It has been proven after several years of experimenting that the incipient flower buds which these 

 bulbs contain develop in greater perfection, are much larger in size, are borne on taller, stronger spikes, and come into flower much quicker than bulbs of the same 

 varieties allowed to ripen the old way in the field. 



So enthusiastic are several of the large bulb-growing firms of Holland regarding this new ripening treatment of bulbs that they are building special "treating" 

 houses, believing that this method is going to revolutionize bulb growing particularly that of hyacinths and popularize this queen of bulbous flowering plants. 



We have flowered a number of varieties of these Holland-treated hyacinths for the past two seasons, both in the house and garden, and the results have been 

 so highly gratifying that we want our hyacinth loving patrons to know about thjm.
