HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE— 1929 



A New Race of Tulips 



TRIUMPH TULIPS 



Triumph Tulips originated "from crosses between Darwin and Early 

 Tulips continued over a number of years, and are therefore the results of 

 much painstaking effort by the breeders. They are sturdy and strong 

 growers and have large and heavy flowers on strong stems. They bloom 

 from one to two weeks ahead of the Darwin Tulips.

Henderson's Newly Introduced 

 Late Flowering Breeder Tulip 



PETER III. 



First exhibited by us at the International Flower 



Show, Grand Central Palace, New York, 



March 11th, 1929 



See Front Cover of this Catalogue 



The photograph opposite shows young Peter Henderson, the 

 great-grandson of Peter Henderson the famous horticulturist 

 with the magnificent new Breeder Tulip, Peter III named after 

 him and exhibited at the International Flower Show, New York, 

 this year. 



Breeder Tulips are usually self-colored, are of enormous size, 

 and borne on strong stiff stems, which frequently exceed three 

 feet in height. 



Peter III, besides possessing all the good points of its class, is 

 also remarkable for its coloring which is quite a departure from 

 the usual coloring of Breeder Tulips. The center is yellow, and 

 the broad petals are orange-red flushed with auburn. Peter III 

 is a very beautiful novelty and will be sought after by connoiseurs. 

 Price each, $3.00.
