HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Named Dutch Hyacinths. 



In this grade we offer the largest and best bulbs that the varieties produce. Some kinds, of 

 course, make larger bulbs than others, but purchasers may rely on getting the pick of the crop. These 

 selected " top roots " as the Hollanders call them, naturally cost a little more than the run of crop, 

 but are worth the difference where largest spikes furnished with the greatest number of bells are de- 

 sired for pots, glasses and exhibition, for 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 fewer bells on a spike, no system of culture can make 

 them produce more that season. Therefore, 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 num- 

 ber of flowers. 



The figures I, 2, 3 and 4 after the name of the Hyacinth indicates the relative time of flowering - 

 the I 's flower together and are the earliest. No. 4 the latest.
