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



Nam^d Dutch Hyacinths. 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR "XX" BULBS. 



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 of Henderson's "XX" Hyacinths may rely on 

 getting the pick of the ciop. These selected "top roots" as the Hollanders call them, naturally cost 

 a little more than the run of first size bulbs but are worth the difference where largest spikes furnished 

 with the greatest number of bells are desired for pots, glasses and exhibition, for the flowers of Hya- 

 cinths 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 number of flowers. 



Henderson's First Size Named Hyacinth Bulbs. 



These bulbs are of the same age as our "XX" grade and are the run of the crop after the "top 

 rcots" are selected out. They are large, solid, fine bulbs and usually chosen for growing in pans, 

 forcing in flats and for bedding on account of their moderate price. 



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.
