where they find a congenial and permanent home, flowering

F pee being planted. This mode of planting is termed “* naturaliz-

light and shade, and imparts a natural grace and beauty to the scene. Our collection is made up of such sorts as give the greatest

these collections at about one-third below the regular price, to encourage this style of planting.

Henderson's Collection of ‘Forcing’ Bulbs Z 
For Winter Flowering in the Conservatory or Greenhorse. 
HIN | 
There is no class of plants that gives the satisfaction and profusion of bloom 
in ‘winter forcing’’ that bulbs do, and with so little skill and care give 
such magnificent results. They occupy no space in the conservatory or 
window excepting when in the full wealth of bud and bloom, and then the 
effect of their incomparable flowers and rich gorgeous colors is matchless. As 
the proper way to treat them is to pot the bulbs in the autumn, plunge them in 
cold frames or in the open ground and cover with leaves, tan bark or something 
similar, and leave them until they become well rooted, which will be in about 
two month’s time,they can then be brought iu and the warmth and light of the 
conservatory or window will ‘‘force” them to bloom in two or three week's 
time. A continuous display of bloom may be enjoyed during the entire winter 
and spring by bringing in a few pots at intervals of two to three weeks. 
The following collection is composed only of the best varieties for forcing 
and will give a great variety of bloom and unbounded satisfaction. It contains
