HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1929 



HENDERSON'S LATE p-jj.--,- T„l™- 

 OR MAY FLOWERING l^Ottage 1 UlipS 



Cottage Tulips are so-called because many of them were found growing in the old 

 cottage gardens of England. Scotland, Ireland and France where they had been estab- 

 lished for 50 years or more. All are very beautiful, presenting a great variety in form 

 and coloring, and having none of the stiffness of other tulips. For cutting they are 

 greatly prized on account of their long stems and graceful habit. Being extremely 

 hardy they are specially adapted for hardy flower borders, where they should be 

 planted in large clumps and masses. To aid in making selections for continuity 

 of bloom, etc., the relative time of flowering is indicated by the 

 letters E, F, G, H and I. Those marked E being the earliest. 

 Those marked I are the latest to bloom. The normal height 

 Is also given in inches. In planting the bulbs should be placed 

 6 inches apart and the bottom of the bulb should be 6 to 7 inches 

 below the surface in light soils and 5 to 6 inches deep in heavy soils. 

 If planted too shallow some may come blind. Ths varieties. marked 

 * are especially good for winter flowering and forcing..
