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

HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Early "Roman" Hyacinths. 



«7f HE flowers, while smaller than those of the Dutch Hyacinth, yet 

 are produced in much greater abundance — each bulb bearing 

 several very graceful flower spikes. The delicious perfume, earli 

 ness and profusion of bloom have made Roman Hyacinths exceedingly 

 popular; they are so easily grown and so early that if potted in August 

 and September they can be brought into flower in November and 

 December, and a succession can be had in bloom throughout the winter. 

 Roman Hyacinths are not considered hardy enough for open-ground 

 culture north of Washington, though in our grounds near New York 

 they have proven perfectly hardy, slightly protected. For cutting pur 

 poses the Roman Hyacinth is the finest bulb grown. (.See cut.)

What Florists Think of J- J- 



Henderson's Superior Roman Hyacinths. 



" / ordered Roman Hyacinths of you in the fall and must say I never 

 saw finer bulbs. Some of them had as many as fifteen, and a few had 

 seventeen spikes of flowers." J. O. GRABB, Cedartown, Ga. 



" Your Roman Hyacinths turned out very satisfactory, as always. Send 

 us prices for this season's bulbs and we will send you our order." 



GRALLERT & CO., Colma, Cal. 



Narcissus, Paper White 



"Grandi flora," or Large Flowering. 



This large flowering type is such an improvement over the 

 ordinary " Paper White " that we have discontinued offer- 

 ing the latter. The " Large Flowering " is more vigorous 

 and earlier, producing purest snow white flowers of large size 

 and good substance in large trusses. The Paper White 

 Narcissus is becoming very popular for growing in bowls of 

 water like the Chinese Narcissus. In fact the Paper White 

 gives so much better satisfaction than the Chinese Lily 

 that it is supplanting the latter for water culture.
