PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— SUPERIOR BULBS— WHOLESALE 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Early "Roman" Hyacinths. 



^^HE flowers, while smaller than those of the Dutch Hyacinth, yet 

 S^ are produced in much greater abundance — each bulb bearing 

 several very graceful flower spikes. The delicious perfume, earli- 

 ness 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 a succession can be had in bloom throughout the winter. 

 Roman Hyacinths are not considered hardy enough for open-ground 

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

 they have proven perfectly hardy, slightly protected. . For cutting pur- 

 poses the Roman Hyacinth is the finest bulb grown. {See cut.)

What Florists Think of J- J> J- 



Henderson's Superior Roman Hyacinths. 



" J ordered Roman Hyacinths of you in the fall and must say I never 

 saw finer bulbs. Some of them had as many as fifteen, and a few had 

 seventeen spikes of flowers." J. O. CRABB, Cedartown, Ga. 



" Your Roman Hyacinths turned out very satisfactory, as always. Send 

 us prices for this season's bulbs and we will send you our order." 



GRALLERT & CO , Colma, Cat. 



The Roman Hyacinths you sent me last fall forced grand." 



C. N. JOHNSOX, Louisville,

" Dutch Roman " or Pan Hyacinths* 



There are some varieties of Dutch Hyacinths that throw good flowers 

 from bulbs no larger than those of French Romans. These are known in 

 the trade as " Dutch Romans," and they are becoming more popular every 

 year with florists for forcing for cut flowers and for growing in pans for sale. 

 The bulbs may be planted quite close together. The early sorts may be 

 flowered but little later than French Romans and a continuous supply may 

 be kept up from January to May. The flowers are finer than those of 

 French Romans, the spikes and bells being larger and of better substance 

 lasting longer either on the plant or when cut. 



AU varieties of Dutch Hyacinths do not flower equally well from small 

 bulbs, so our grower has made a selection of some of the best which we 

 offer below; size of bulbs 13 to 15 centimeters.
