Henderson’s New Giant Darwin Tulips—General List

These popular late or May-flowering tulips are very stately and beautiful —Pproducing immense flowers on tall sturdy stems attaining a height of from 2 to 3 feet. The flowers are models of perfection in form, lasting @ wax-like substance—and in a great variety of both dainty and richly bril- g liant colorings ranging from blush through pinks, rose, salmon-red, crim- son, etc., to rich ox blood reds, from lavender through mauve light blue to violet purple, and from light brown to black. The centers of many of { them are beautifully marked. The Darwins also include good tinted ¥ whites—and a clear yellow Mary Eaton. Darwin Tulips are exceedingly ¥ effective when grown in groups of a dozen or more bulbs of one variety in the garden or herbaceous border with a back-ground of greenery. Y As cut flowers they are unsurpassable. The long stemmed, bold, dur- able flowers have a dignity and character exclusively their own. They can be successfully flowered in pots or pans in the house in winter if grown cool and not forced into bloom before March. The varieties marked * are especially good for that purpose.

To aid in making selections of varieties for continuity of bloom, etc.. | we have indicated their relative time of flowering by the letters E, F, G, H, and I, the E’s being the earliest to bloom. The height is also given but may vary. The bulbs should be spaced about 5 inches apart and base of the bulbs should be 5 to 6 inches deep on heavy soils and 6 to 7 inches deep on light soils.

We will supply individual bulbs of any sort described below at one-tenth of the dozen price. © Bulbs of a variety sold at the dozen rate, 25 al the hundred rate.

Cottage Tulips

Cottage Tulips are so-called because found growing in the old cottage gardens of England, Scotland, Ireland and France where they had been established for 50 years or more. All are very beautiful, presenting a great variety in form and coloring, and having none of the stiffness of other tulips. For cutting, they are greatly prized on account of their long stems and grace- ful habit. They are specially adapted for hardy flower borders, where they should be planted in large clumps and masses. To aid in making selections for continuity of bloom, etc., the relative time of flowering is indicated by the letters E, F, G, H and I. Those marked E being the earliest. Those marked I are the latest to bloom. The normal height is also given in inches. In planting, the bulbs should be placed 5 inches apart and the bottom of the bulb should be 6 to 7 inches below the surface in light soils and 5 to 6 inches deep in heavy soils. If planted too shallow some may come blind. The varieties marked * are especia!ly good for winter flowering and forcing.

Rembrandt Tulips

These late or May-flowering garden tulips form a new class of stately beauty. They are in reality Darwin Tulips which have “broken” into permanent variegations—the flowers of various rich colors being striped, blotched and marked with different shades and colors. The flowers, large, of perfect form and lasting substance, are borne on sturdy stems about two feet in height. These Rembrandts are very effective planted in groups in the herbaceous or shrubbery border and will remain 3 or

Bybloemen Tulips

100, : ro: Like the Bizarre varieties, these tulips were evolved at the time of the nate Tulipomania which swept Holland and neighboring European countries

: early in the seventeenth century. They have been grown and sold quite

largely in European countries ever since, and to a lesser extent in Amer- ica; but are considered by many to be too gay for large plantings.

Nevertheless, for indoor decoration, in the month of May when they bloom, their vivid and contrasting colors are very welcome. For outdoor borders, and for planting among the perennials, there is nothing better; as they impart gay coloring much wanted at that time.

The ‘‘Rose’”” Bybloemen tulips are those marked with crimson, rose, pink and scarlet on a white ground, and the “‘Violet’’ Bybloemen are those marked with blue, purple and violet also on a white ground.

They flower at the same time as the Darwin and Breeder varieties, and the Aculture is the same; but the stems are not so long. (See engraving.)

Parrot or Dragon Tulips

These belong to the late garden tulips, and have immense attractive flowers of singularly picturesque form and brilliant and varied colors. The petals are curiously fringed or laciniated on the edges, and the form of the flower, especially before it opens, resembles the head and neck of a parrot. Only the strongest bulbs of Parrot Tulips can be depended upon to flower. The smaller, younger bulbs often throw no flowers—or at best produce weak, sprawling stems. Our bulbs are the best Holland produces. Ps Fantasy. (See color plate on page 2.) This recent product originated as a

sport from Clara Butt, the well-known Darwin Tulip. Clara Butt is esteemed

for its beautiful salmon pink color; and this sport Fantasy has inherited the same glorious color, except that the inside of the flower is more intense in color, and borne on stiffer stems. The height is 20 inches.

Each petal besides being elaborately laciniated is marked very distinctly in the center with a streak of apple-green. eae ;

This variety is also suitable for growing in pots or pans of soil in the window,

attracting great attention wherever exhibited. Price, 15c each;

PARROT TULIP

Old Dutch Breeder MAY FLOWERING GARDEN TULIPS

The vogue for this glorious type of the large late May flowering Tulips is gaining great impetus, through the introduction of many of the exquisite new varieties, de- scribed in the list below.

The Old Dutch Breeder Tulips appeal to all tulip lovers on account of their sturdi- ness, large size, and beautiful ‘“‘art colors.’’ In size they even outrival the popular Darwins. Under favorable conditions many sorts will grow over two and one-hali feet high and bear enormous flowers of ideal form and great substance.

The colors of these tulips are most fascinating; including solid art colors (such as bronze, brown, buff, terra cotta) as well as many combinations of colors that are unsur- passably beautiful.

When planting the bulbs in the garden, they should be spaced about 5 inches apart and covered from 4 to 6 inches depending upon the nature of the soil.

They may also be flowered in pots or pans of soil or fibre in the house in winter if brought in from the cold frame or out-door plunge before the middle of January and then grown on cool and slowly in a temperature of about 60°. The early flowering ones —those marked F and G—will then flower in February and March—the later ones requiring a little more time. Too much heat is apt to cause them to grow spindling and inferior.

Henderson’s “Special?’ Hyacinths

FOR BEDDING OR POT CULTURE WITHOUT NAMES —CHEAPER THAN NAMED VARIETIES—FAR BETTER THAN MIXED

They are the same age as the first size Named Hyacinth offered by us from which these are the second selection. They are of great value for bedding in designs, enabling one to obtain the exact color effect desired. In beds, borders, etc., set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart and 4 inches deep measuring from the top of the bulb. They are much used for winter blooming in pots. Plant or pot hyacinth bulbs between September and the last of November—the earlier the better—as it gives them a longer period to make roots before winter sets in.

Plant 1 bulb in a 5-in. pot, 3 bulbs in a 6 or 7-in. pot, 6 or 7 bulbs in an 8-in. pot or pan.

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS

Roman Hyacinths are extensively used for ‘‘forcing’’ for cut flowers. The white Roman Hyacinth is the earliest, best and most floriferous variety, though the pink and light blue are very beautiful and supply a variation of color. For Culture, etc., see our pamphlet. Sent free if asked for.

Roman Hyacinths are not hardy enough for open ground planting north of Washington, but where the winters are mild, especially if lightly protected with mulch, they thrive excellently in the garden.

BUTCH ROMAN HYACINTHS

The smaller or three-year-old bulbs of some varieties of Dutch Hya- cinths produce beautiful spikes of bloom, not as large nor furnished with as many bells as older-full-sized bulbs but still so satisfactory for their low price that they are extensively grown for winter flowers, forced either in ‘‘flats’’, pans or pots. They may be had in flower from January on—thus succeeding the earlier French Romans. The bulbs may be placed very near together—say—an inch apart—requiring 7 or 8 bulbs for a 7-inch pan or 5 bulbs for a 5-inch pot or pan.

12 American Grown Nacrissus, Daffodils and Jonquils

_ Among spring flowering bulbous plants the Narcissus family is one of the most important and of world-wide popularity. With the exception of the Polyanthus varieties (offered on page 13), all are as hardy as rocks, grow, increase and flower year after year. They may be grown in garden beds, among hardy plants in herba- ceous borders, or ‘‘naturalized,’’ that is, grown as if wild in outlying portions oi the lawn or grounds, on terraced slopes, and along semi-shaded paths. As cut flowers Narcissus are especially useful, being of lasting quality and vasing beautifully. Send for our pamphlet, “How to Grow Bulbs.’’ Sent free. ; : NOTE—The ‘‘pevianth"’ is the surrounding row of petals or wings. The trumpet crown’ or ‘‘cup’’ is the center portion of the flower.

SPANISH IRIS or Iris Hispanica

These beautiful bulbous irises have long been known as ‘‘the poor man's orchids’’ and appropriately so because the colorings and markings of the different varieties of Spanish Iris so closely resemble the markings ol many specimens of the Orchid family. The flowers of some are four to five inches in diameter and the plants are all extremely graceful. For the adornment of a dinner table nothing could be better and, if cut while in bud, last about ten days. They are also suitable for pot culture and if planted in pots or boxes and stored in cold frames until they show buds, and then brought into heat, they may be had in bloom trom April on.

New Large Flowering Japanese Iris tris Kaempferi

The magnificence of these new Irises surpasses description. The flowers are of enormous size, averaging 6 to 8 inches across, and of indescribable and charming hues and colors, varying like watered silk in the sunlight, the prevailing colors being white, crimson, rose, lilac, lavender, violet and blue; each flower usually representing several shades, while a golden-yellow blotch, surrounded by a halo of blue or violet, at the base of the petals, intensifies the wealth of coloring. The Japan Iris besides being very free flowering is perfectly hardy and grows readily in almost any situation, either sunny or partially shady; but the soil should be moist and the plants well supplied with water when flowering. They bloom in great profusion in June and through- out July, coming into bloom when other Irises are faded and gone. Ready September 15 to November 15. (See illustration.)

HARDY LILIES

Lilies commence flowering in June and with the various species maintain a continuous and unbroken succession in the shrubbery border. Most Lily Bulbs, being of late maturity, are not ready before October, November and December (the best time to plant them). Where the ground is liable to freeze up before the late lilies arrive it should be muliched with 6 to 8 inches of leaves or manure to keep it from freezing, so the bulbs may be planted on arrival.

Auratum. (The Golden Rayed Lily of Japan.) The flowers are pure white, thickly studded with crimson spots, while through the centre of each petal runs a clear golden band. Fully expanded, the flowers measure nearly a foot across and possess a most delicious fragrance. Season of bloom from July to October, 3 to 5 feet. (See illustration.)

Extra size bulbs, 9 to 11 inch. .40c each; $4.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100

HENDERSON’S Modern Peonies

Selected from the World’s Best Varieties

Our Method of Selling Henderson’s Herbaceous Peonies.—lIt is the rule among most sellers of Peonies to send out divided roots, that is, older plants cut into several 2 to 3 crowned roots. These, of course, can be sold at a lower price, but all Peony purchasers should know that normal flowers of maximum size will not be produced on these divided roots for two or three years. As most of our customers prefer to pay a little more and get older, undivided roots, therefore we are offering roots of 2 and 3 years’ growth from the divided stage. These, according to age, will give a great quantity of perfect blooms the succeeding summer if planted between September 15th and November ist For cultura! instructions send for our Peony Guide post free.

REMEDIES for INSECTS and FUNGUS

In order to combat insects, they are divided into two general groups—those that suck the juices from plants such as aphis, mealy bug, red spider, etc. For this group, contact insecticides like Black Leaf 40, Evergreen and Red Arrow are recommended. For leaf eating insects, a stomachic insecticide like Arsenate of Lead or Pyrox is most effective. For Fungous Diseases, use Bordeaux Mixture or Fungtrogen.

BONE MEAL—Best Fertilizer for Bulbs Excellent for Top Dressing Lawns

It is for its slow disintegrating and Jong lasting qualities that Bone Meal is so very desirable for fertilizing all hard wooded plants, including flowering shrubs, fruit bushes, trees, and the like.

As there is absolutely no danger of burning or causing rot in fleshy bulbs, including Tulips, Hyacinths, etc., a liberal application of Bone Meal mixed into the soil before planting them will be amply repaid for by the remarkable size and brilliancy of the flowers obtained.

For Lawns it is a dependable fertilizer, as it contains the essential elements that grass requires. It may be broadcast as a top-dressing at any time either in early spring or during the growing season.

Quantity required. For lawns, pasture and mowing lands, 10 lbs. to 200 square feet or 14 to 1 ton per acre. Fcr trees and vines, 2 to 4 lbs. each. For field and garden crops, 14 to 1 ton broadcast and harrowed in. For rose beds, pot plants, eic., one part to about fifty of soil.

HUMUS pp Pulverized

Nature’s Product for Enriching Lawns and Gardens

Hummus is not a chemical fertilizer, but a natural organic substance consisting of deposits of decomposed vegetable matter that have been accumulating for countless ages.

Our supply, which is obtained from a prehistoric lake basin, is dug, aerated and pulverized by specially designed machinery.

Hyper Pulverized Humus is black in color, it is easy to apply, and serves many functions in the soil. It loosens heavy clayey soils, and promotes aeration. It increases the moisture absorbing power of light, sandy soils and corrects the mechanical condition of medium soils. Unless there is a supply of humus in some form in the soil it is impossible to obtain satisfactory crops of either grass, vegetables or flowers.

Hyper Pulverized Humusis absolutely odorless and is therefore very desirable for using in flats for starting seedlings indoors, also for potting bulbs and other house plants.

Sunny South

It is especially prepared for the South, and contains all the best

Grasses that are by nature adapted for hot, dry situations. In the South, Bermuda Grass is frequently used, but it remains green only in the summer months, turning brown in winter; but by us- ing Sunny South, and with care and attention to watering, an all- the-year-round lawn can be maintained in Southern States where Grasses do not usually thrive.

Price, transportation paid in the U. S., 50c qt.; $1.65 for 4 qts.; $3.00 pk. of 5 lbs.; $5.75 per 4 bu. of 10 Ibs.; $11.00 bu. of 20 Ibs.; $50.00 per 100 Ibs.

Terrace Sod

A special mixture of Grasses best suited for sowing on terraces, embankments and hillsides. These are varieties that produce long, strong, spreading roots, preventing heavy rains from wash- ing them out and that will withstand drought, thrive on shallow soils, and at the same time produce a rich, velvety-green turf throughout the season. There need be no fear of introducing coarse Grasses into your lawn by sowing this mixture.

Seaside

Our “‘Seaside’’ mixture will make a good turf of green on sand where the finer Grasses are not so likely to thrive, though, of course, the sand must be top-dressed with not less than 2 inches of soil before even our ‘‘Seaside’’ Grass Seed is sown, to enable the young Grass to get a start, after which the long roots—peculiar to the varieties we use in this mixture—drive down deeply in the cand and remain permanently self-sustaining, if attention is given to sprinkling during dry weather.

‘TURES OF LAWN GRASS SEED

Shady Nook

It is a combination of fine, dwarf growing, ever- green varieties which in their wild or natural state are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is frequently ‘“‘sour,’’ and if the drain- age is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse Grasses. In such cases an application of slaked lime, at the rate of one hundred pounds to each, thousand square feet, or two tons to the acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first raked off. (See illustration.)

Price, transportation paid in the U. S., 50c at.; $1.65 for 4 qts.; $3.00 pk. of 5 Ibs.; $5.75 per 4 bu. of 10 Ibs.; $11.00 bu. of 20 Ibs.; $50.00 per 100 lbs.

“Special Bent Formula”

A lawn seeded with this mixture and properly cared for will in truth make every lawn a Putting Green.

It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type, that the grass should be kept cut short and well rolled all through the season. Starvation of the grass plants is the most frequent cause of unsatisfactory lawns, and grass needs constant small applications of fertilizer and plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn.

Also, every spring apply a dressing of Henderson’s Lawn Enricher. Broadcast this, using five pounds for each 200 square feet, and water it in thoroughly witha hose.

We advise seeding at the rate of one pound to covera space of 10x20 or 200 square feet. Price, transportation paid in the U. S., $1.00 per 1b.; 5 Ibs. $4.50; 20 lbs. $16.00; 100 Ibs. lots and upward, $75.00 per 100 lbs.

TOUGH TURF

For Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds, Bowling Greens, etc.

Several varieties are blended in the proper proportions to form and maintain a tough matted sward, constantly green, even in dry weather. These varieties of Grasses, being low-growing and fine- leaved, require to be sown liberally if a playing turf is desired quickly; not less than one quart should be used for 100 square feet, or six bushels per acre, although 50 per cent more may be used with advantage. Half that quantity will do for renovating. This mixture has been used with great success at the Rumson Polo Fields, also at the Forest Hills Tennis Courts, the great sport centers for Tennis, and numerous other playing fields.

Autumn Is the Best Time to Make or Renovate a Lawn

The “HENDERSON” Lawn Grass Seed

Sown in the Autumn, produces Enduring Turf which will withstand Summer Droughts

We give full instructions for making new lawns or re-seeding old ones in our booklet, ‘‘How to Make a Lawn.’’ This is enclosed on every package sent out by us.

For a long time we have urged the Fall planting of grass seed, for either making a new lawn, or renovating the old one, and year after year the results have shown the wisdom of following the natural way.

Grass seed planted in the Fall, germinates rapidly, and will attain a strong growth by the time frost comes. Even with the rigorous Northern winters there is very little danger of its being injured by the cold weather; in fact, our advice is not to protect it in any way.

Even before the frost is completely out of the ground, we find that the young grass responds to the first warm days. Weed seeds trom the previous Summer will not start until weeks after the Fall-sown grass has become strong and vigorous enough to withstand their more rapid growth; in fact, if it has been planted thickly, the grass will often crowd out the weeds.

Any lawn will be improved by a light sowing of the appropriate Henderson mixture during early September, together with an application of one of the Henderson fertilizers. You will find a list of our various grass mixtures for particular places on Page 30 and whether you are going to make a new lawn, or renovate the old, we strongly urge your doing so at once

A copy of our pamphlet ‘How to Make a Lawn” is sent with every package of the Henderson Lawn Grass Seed.

In the latitude of New York, the seed may be sown up to the first of October, farther south later, and farther north up to about September first.
