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



HE TRUE BERMUDA EASTER LILY (LII.IUM HARRISII. ) 



Henderson's Superior 



Bermuda Easter Lily 



(LIL1UM HARRISII.) 



The TRUE Bermuda Easter Lily is our Great Specialty. We were the 

 pioneer introducers of it and have always been " Headquarters," supply- 

 ing the trade generally, both in Europe and America. 



We wish to lay particular stress upon the size and quality of our Bulbs 

 which are larger, healthier and better than those usually sold— for the 

 reason that no expense is spared in manuring and cultivating. Experi- 

 ence having shown us that bulbs so treated are incomparably superior to 

 bulbs grown on impoverished and unfertilized land year after year, which 

 constitutionally weakens the bulbs and they give results accordingly.

WHAT FLORISTS THINK OF 



HENDERSON'S EASTER LILY BULBS 



" Please ship us 1000 I.ihum Harrisii bulbs — 6 to 7 inch size. We art 

 giving you this order on the strength of getting bulbs equal in health to those 

 we got from you last year, which produced llie finest plants we had last season." 



CLARK BROS., Florists, Portland, Oregon. 



" We have been more successful with your Harrisii bulbs than have any 

 of the other florists in the vicinity of Wheeling with bulbs from other sources." 



OSCAR WRIGHT, Moundsville, W. Va. 



" I have been growing your Harrisii bulbs for several years. Last season 

 I divided my order, placing one half with you and tlte other half with another 

 prominent seedsman. Yours were the true Bermuda Harrisii, while the 

 others were badly mixed with a worthless variety which grew to enormous 

 height with a very small flower. Your half were all of an even size with flowers 

 of an excellent quality. I had the honor of having the finest Lilies in Pitts- 

 burgh from your bulbs. There were but few of your plants diseased — prob- 

 ably 50 in the whole batch of 6,000 bulbs. You will have my full order next 

 season." WM. F. LAUCH, Florist, Carrtck, Pa. 



The bulbs from you last season were very satisfactory. The Lilium 

 Harrisii were especially good, averaging 5 to 10 flowers per stem — and the 

 flowers were very fine." WM. S. WILSON, Concord, N. H. 



"I got 100 Harrisii Lily Bulbs from you last year and 99 of them bloomed 

 all right, they were a nice lot." WILLIS E. HAMILTON, Florist, 



Belfast, Maine. 



" You may book my order for 7 to 9 inch Lilium Harrisii. Those from you 

 this year were fine." E. HAENTZE, Florist, 



Fond du Lac, Wis. 



" I do not hesitate to say that the lot of Harrisii I bought from you this season 

 are the best I received for a number of years. They are the nicest lookint 

 plants that I have : een anywhere, and I am glad that it is so, as this was the 

 first time I got in >, Harrisii from you and which will assure you of getting 

 further orders." CHRIS BESOLP, Florist, Mineola, L. I. 



" I am well pleased with the Harrisii Lilies I got from you; they are tlte best 

 I have had in 10 years." H. A. MAXINER, Port Jervis, N. Y.
