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

WHITE CALLAS.— DRY BULBS. 



(Expected for shipment in September ) 

 The dry bulbs are superior for forcing purposes, as they come into 

 bloom quickly and require less room — making less foliage. Dry bulbs 

 will flower nearly twice as abundantly as plants that have been kept 

 growing or only semi-dormant.

Gladstone. A new, large flowering Spiraea — an improvement over 

 all other white-flowering Spiraeas — and one of the most beautiful 

 winter and spring flowering pot plants grown; the immense trusses 

 of flowers are as white as snow, and are borne on erect, strong 

 stalks 18 inches high. Well-grown plants bear 25 to 40 of these 

 plume-like trusses, practically enveloping the plant with a feath- 

 ery foam 



New Pink Spirea (Queen Alexandra). Same habit as Gladstone — 

 flowering about two weeks later. Large plumes of Bridesmaid 

 pink 50c. each
