HENDERSON'S 



or Exhibition Bulbs of Named DutcH HyacintHs. 



We have a number of customers who are Hyacinth fanciers, and want the 

 ivery largest and finest bulbs regardless of price, to enable them to produce 

 superior flowers for exhibition. To meet this demand we have arranged with 

 pur Holland growers to pick out at a fancy price a limited quantity of the very 

 [biggest bulbs harvested of each of the named varieties we offer above. We 

 call these our "XX" or exhibition bulbs, and we unreservedly recommend 

 |hem to our customers as superlatively fine for growing in either pots or glasses, 

 for winter flowering in the house. 



The flowers of Hyacinths in an incipient form are stored in the hearts of 

 the bulbs before maturity, exactly as they afterwards develop. So that if you 

 purchase younger, cheaper bulbs, containing in embryo only a few bells on a 

 spike, no system of culture can make them produce more that season. There- 

 fore, for the finest results the best, oldest and largest bulbs (within certain 

 limits) should be chosen, for these usually contain the most perfect and greatest 

 number of flowers. 



In ordering this superlative grade of Hyacinth Bulbs, be sure to prefix the variety select. d from above list with a "XX". Price 15c. each, $1.50 doz. 



Six bulbs of one variety sold at dozen rates; 25 at 100 rates; 250 at I j00 rates. Postage mil be extra on bulbs wanted by mail.
