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





WHITE ROMAN 

 HVACINTH. 



mm mim oi^ •/ 

 umm HyaciNTHs. 



These are extensively grown by- 

 florists for the Paris flower market, 

 as the profusion of bloom, fragrance 

 and graceful spikes render them 

 very popular for cutting purposes. 

 They flower quickly after being pot- 

 ted and deserve to be more largely 

 grown. The bulbs are red-skinned 

 and bloom a little later than White 

 Romans, and therefore are valuable 

 for succession ; valuable for outside 

 planting for cutting purposes in the 

 spring.

 per 100. 



Single hulhs ntaited free^ to the dozen

PAN HYACINTHS. 



The Hollanders practice this method of growing Hyacinths 

 for winter flowering in the house with most satisfactory le- 

 sults : 10 to 12 bulbs are planted in earthen pans, 8 or 9 inches 

 across. Several of these pans can be filled and put away to 

 root in the usual manner, and by bringing them m at 

 intervals, a beautiful display can be enjo>ed for weeks 

 Bulbs of one variety are usually preferred because they 'will 

 all flower at the same time, though, if a person prefers a var 

 iety of colors in one pan, selections can be made from the 

 undermentioned colors which all bloom at about the same 

 time, under the same growing conditions 



Pure White, Tinted White, Pink, Crimson, 

 Lighc Blue, Dark Blue or Mixed Colors. 



Price, 5c. each, 40c. per doz., §2.50 per 100. 



Sine-ie bulbs 7nailed free. To the dozen and loo prices, i/ ivant- 

 ed by mail, add loc. per doz. for postage. 



'THE flowers, while smaller than those of the ordinary 

 I Dutch Hyacinth, yet are produced in much greater 

 * abundance, each bulb producing several graceful spikes ^ 



of bloom; their delicious perfume, earliness and profusion ^^„,„ 



of bloom have made Roman Hyacinths exceedingly popular. They are so easily grown 

 and so early that if potted in August and September they can be brought into flower in 

 November and December, and by a succession of plantings can be had in bloom tnrougn- 

 out the winter. Roman Hyacinths are not considered hardy enough for open grouna 

 culture north of Washington, though in our grounds near New York they have provea 

 perfectly hardy, slightly protected. For cutting purposes the Roman Hyacmtn is tne 

 finest bulb grown. (See Cut) For prices see bel zv. ,, , , , j-^ j.„^f„^.
