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



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Early "Roman" Hyacinths. 



^T'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, earliness 

 and profusion of bloom have made Roman Hyacinths exceedingly pop- 

 ular; 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 purposes the 

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

What Florists Think of Henderson's Superior Bolbs 



"/ 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. 



" Will say that your Bulbs were the best I ever handled. The results 

 splendid.- E. C. STAMMERJOHN, 



Vine Clad Greenhouses, Boonville, Mo. 



Narcissus, Paper White 



"Grandiflora," 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. 



Price of extra sized bulbs, 13 centimeters and over, 25c. 

 per doz.; $1.00 per 100; $8.50 per 1000. 



White Callas. Dry Bulbs. 



(Now ready for shipment — August to November). 

 The dry bulbs arc superior for forcing purposes, as they 

 come into bloom quickly and require less room — making 

 less foliage. Dry bulbs will flower nearly twice as abund- 

 ant^ as plants that have been kept growing or only semi- 

 dormant. 



Price, Extra Size Bulbs, 2 inches in diameter. $1.00 per 

 doz.; $7.00 per 100; $65.00 per 1000.
