PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK. BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. 



HENDERSON'S Grand Named Hyacinths hardly need special praise, as every 

 one knows them to be the most useful and popular of hardy bulbs, and 

 universal favorites in the most extended application of the word. They are 

 not only largely grown for forcing into flower during the dull, cheerless months of 

 winter and early spring, but they are equally desirable for planting in beds or in 

 the garden border. Hyacinths grown in glasses are elegant and suitable orna- 

 ments for the parlor or sitting-room, and can be flowered in this way with very 

 little trouble. The single varieties are more generally used for this purpose. 



The varieties prefixed * are the earliest flowering. Our Named Hyacinth 

 bulbs are the largest selected bulbs, not the second size so often sent out as the 

 best at a cheaper price.
