HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR FREESIAS. 



If by Parcel Post add postage at Zone Rates. Weight 1 lb. per 100; dozens mailed free. 

 Freesias are most popular and charming bulbs for pot culture, flowering in the winter and spring in the conservatory, or window garden; 6 or 8 bulbs should 

 be planted in a 4-inch pot. They force readily and can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, and by having a dozen or more pots started in the cold frame 

 they can be brought in at intervals, thereby keeping up a continuous display of bloom through the winter; the flowers are produced 6 to 8 on stems about 9 inches 

 high, and are particularly useful for cutting, remaining in good condition kept in water for two weeks. (See cut.) 

 Refracta Alba. The flowers are pure white with a yellow blotched throat and are exquisitely fragrant. Extra Size 



Bulbs, 35c. per doz.; 52.25 per 100; $20.00 per 1000. 

 Furity. A distinct and greatly inproved type producing large sprays of purest snow white flowers of immense size 



and deliciouslv fragrant; it is very free blooming and of great value for forcing for cut flowers. Extra Size Bulbs, 40c.

 shadings, their delicate fragrance and their free blooming qualities. Each principal spike usually carries 7 to 9

EARLY^FLOWERING GLADIOLUS. 



These Gladiolus are invaluable for flowering in the greenhouse for winter bloom. The flowers are 

 smaller and more refined than those of the Gandavensis Gladiolus; in colors and markings are very 

 handsome the bulbs can be kept dormant until spring and then planted be in open ground if pre- 

 ferred, blooming in June and July. If planted in cold frames they will flower as early as May, and this 

 is perhaps the better way in very cold localities. (Ready in November.)
