Henderson's Superior NAMED DUTCH HYACINTHS. 



All " Select First Size Bulbs " — not " Seconds," so often sent out at a lower price. 



Hyacinths are among the most popular and satisfactory hardy flower bulbs grown. Their wax-like bell-formed flowers, borne in buxom trusses, are of 

 matchless beauty and also delightfully fragrant. The colors, shades and tints are wonderfully varied, from purest white through blush, pink, rose, etc., to 

 deepest red and from daintiest porcelain through blues to black purple, from cream through yellows to orange and rosy apricot, etc. Hyacinths succeed with 

 every one and may be had in flower throughout the winter, grown either in pots of soil or glasses of water, or in bowls of Henderson's Prepared Fibre (see 

 2d page cover) , while for gardens or bedded on the lawn they are gorgeously effective when in flower during the spring. The bulbs of different varieties of hyacinths 

 vary greatly in size and shape. Some making very large smooth bulbs, others smaller irregularly shaped bulbs. The latter, however, throw equally as fine trusses 

 of bloom — sometimes better — than the larger bulbing varieties. In every case we send out the largest and best bulbs that the variety produces. 



Varieties that flower at the same time must also be selected. Varieties prefixed with a * are especially suited for bedding as well as for pot culture. The figures
