Henderson s Miscellaneous Bulbs for Autumn Planting , 



GIANT HYBRID AMARYLLIS. 



" INTERNATIONAL PRIZE " STRAIN. 



Awarded the Prize at the International Flower Show, New York. 



These giant flowering hybrids of Vittata are unnamed seedlings from a famous English Collec- 

 tion and are of exceptional beauty. The coloring and markings are exquisite; the bulbs are very 

 large, and are of sufficient strength and age to produce magnificent flowers during the winter or 

 spring. They are probably the most magnificent and gorgeous bulbous plants known. Their 

 immense flowers, richness of coloring and regal habit are simply incomparable. They throw 

 up spikes from 2 to 3 feet high, bearing enormous wide petalled flowers averaging 8 to 10 inches 

 across and of great substance, some being of rich and glowing colors, others delicately shaded and 

 superbly veined. (// by Parcel Post add postage at Zone Rates — Single bulbs mailed free.

Winter Aconite. 



(Eranthis Hyemalis)

 striking contrast to the Snowdrop, Scillas and

 flowers, making the plant especially valuable in 

 moist situations such as under trees, which the 

 Winter Aconite enjoys and where few other flowering 

 plants will thrive. 3 to 8 inches high. 20c. per doz.
