Bulbs are practically all grown in Holland and as we are large importers we get the pick and import only ‘“‘firsts’’, although great quantities known as ‘“‘seconds”’
are on the market, and are often sold by local dealers. Having been engaged in the bulb importing business for three-quarters of a century, we know intimately

au Fass srowers of the different varieties in Holland; some excel in growing one kind, and some in another, so that we are in a position to get the best qualities
aFieties.

To obtain the best we advise you to order bulbs as soon as you receive this catalogue. Of course such orders being specially imported for you with our own
orders, will not be subject to cancellation. Bulbs and roots mature and ripen at different periods during the late summer and autumn, and shipment will be
made as follows in the absence of contrary instructions.

Henderson’s Giant Darwin Tulips—the Aristocrats of Tulipdom

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. As cut flowers they are unsurpassable. 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.

BYBLOEMEN TULIPS

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
culture is the same.

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 varie-
gations—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 Rem-
brandts are very effective planted in groups in the herbaceous or shrubbery
border and will remain 3 or 4 years without replanting.

Choice Mixed Varieties....................... 80c per doz.; $6.00 per 100

We can supply individual bulbs of varieties described above at one-tenth of the
dozen price.

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

TRIUMPH TULIPS

These represent the greatest improvement in Tulips since the Darwin race
was introduced. They are hybrids of the Single Early and Darwin sorts and
bloom between the Single Early and the Late Flowering Cottage, Breeder and
Darwin types. The flowers are large and the colors are brilliant and are pro-
duced on tall stiff stems. We recommend Tulip lovers to try this new race.

seventeenth century. It is this class that is credited as being responsible for
the famous tulip.craze in 1635. Bizarre tulips are, all queerly striped and
variegated; they belong to the May flowering group, and flower on tall stems.

maintain a continuous and unbroken succession in the shrubbery
border. Most Lily Bulbs, being of late maturity, are not ready before

it should be mulched with 6 or 8 inches of leaves or manure to keep
it from freezing, so the bulbs may be planted on arrival.

convenience between September
and November.

Customers will be billed for the goods
ordered after shipment. Those having
no account with us will receive an
inveice so that remittance can
be made before shipment.

We Pay Transportation Charges East of
the Mississippi.

Our Method of Selling Henderson’s Her-
baceous Peonies.—It 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, roots, therefore
we are offering roots of 2 and 3 years growth.
These, according to age, will give a quantity of
blooms the succeeding summer if planted be-
tween September 15th and November Ist.

Roots shipped trimmed ready for planjing.

SELECTED PANSY SEED

For Summer and Autumn_Sowings

Growing Pansies from Summer and Autumn-Sown Seed. Sow the
seed in July, August or the early part of September in the open ground on a
finely prepared seedbed sheltered from hot sun, or protect with a light cover-
ing of hay or straw or even burlap, to keep the ground moist until the seedlings
are up. Thin the seedlings to 3 or 4 inches part—in about 6 weeks the young
plants can be removed to their permanent flowering quarters, where they must
be again covered with hay to a depth of about 3 inches after freezing weather
sets in. Another way to winter over autumn-grown seedlings is to transplant
them 3 or 4 inches apart according to their size into coldframes, and trans-
plant to flowering quarters as early in the spring as possible.

The Pansy is hardy with slight protection, and thrives best when grown cool.

MAMMOTH BUTTERFLY j
This ‘“Butterfly"’ race originated from selections made by the late Peter
Henderson—who was particularly fond of Pansies—from the best American,
English, Scotch, French and German varieties. This process of selection has
been followed by us ever since, and from the legion of ‘‘most beautiful’ Pansies
among Henderson's Butterflies we have chosen this offering.

Per 1000 seeds, $1.00; Pkt., 25c.

GIANT MOTTLED
Well-grown they measure 3 to 34% inches across—and of most gorgeous
effects, blotches, spotted, marbled, veined, striped and blended colors passing
through reds, rose, pink, white, purple, in beautiful and indescribable varie-

gation.

BUGNOT’S LARGE STAINED FRENCH
These Pansies are distinguished by their varied colors and strong markings.
There is a large ‘‘blotch’’ on each of the five petals, with a band of some’strik-
ingly contrasting color, over all of which is thrown a cobweb like netting of
yet another hue.

GIANT RUFFLED

The broad petals seem to be “‘gathered’’ to the stem, causing them to be
fluted from center to circumference, not unlike “‘frilled’’ velvet. The unusual
substance of the flowers, enables them to present bold, open and handsome
faces, during windy or dry summer weather, when other Pansy flowers droop
or wilt. The flowers are borne on strong stems well above the foliage and con-
tain rich combinations of coloring not found in other Pansies.

the grass by drawing it
across the edge of the sta-
tionary cutting knife

as done in other Mowers.

The Henderson “Featherweight” |

The Lightest and Easiest Running Mower

The wheels are 10 inches in diameter; this permits the mower to roll over
rough or uneven surfaces without lessening its cutting efficiency. Another
feature that is exclusive in the Henderson ‘‘Featherweight”’ is that the knife
is close to the outer point of the wheels. This permits close
cutting around trees or other obstructions. The 6}4-inch
diameter of the reel enables it to cut tall grass
as well as to clip the closest turf. It has 4
crucible steel, oil-tempered blades. The lower
blade is made of the highest grade cutlery steel,
hardened, tempered
and ground, so that the
mower always remains
sharp.

Henderson’s ‘‘Best
Para’? Rubber Hose

This is the highest grade of
garden hose, being made entirely
from New Para Rubber and will
outlast cheap hose three times
over. We guarantee it to stand a
300-lb. water pressure, and it will
be as resilient in three or four years’
time as when new, while cheap
hose of that age will be hard and
rotten. Every length of Henderson
“Best Para’’ Hose is fitted with
the new water-tight couplings,
without extra charge.

Hose is furnished only in 25-feet and 50-feet length. (See illustration.)
Prices, 34-in. bore Para, per 25-feet length, $4.75; per 50-feet length, $9.00.
Delivered transportation paid. See Special Notice above.

The Henderson ‘Allover’? Sprinkler

Three patented sprinkler nozzles are attached to two sections of high quality
rubber hose each fifteen feet long. This permits great flexibility allowing the
outfit to be laid straight, in a circle or at any angle desired.

When laid straight—with average pressure—it will sprinkle thoroughly
an area about fifty feet long and twenty feet wide. The nozzles break the water
into a very fine mist which will penetrate into but not wash the soil. It is
therefore safe to use even on a newly planted lawn.

If it is necessary to irrigate a very small section of the garden only, two of
the nozzles may be removed and only the end one used. This is the most prac-
tical and efficient sprinkler system that has ever been offered. Price complete,

Extra 15-foot section
of hose with couplings,

best materials; machined

express or freight at our option.

Insects that suck the juices from plants, foliage, etc., such as lice, green,
black and white aphis or fly, mealy bug, red spider and scale, must be destroyed
by contact insecticides. Those in powder form kill by the breathing pores in
the insect’s skin; in liquid form, by being absorbed through their pores. The
best contact insecticides in powder form are Hellebore, Slug Shot and Tobacco
Dust. The best fluids are Aphine, Black-Leaf 40, Evergreen, Fish Oil Soap,
Kerosene Miscible Oil, Red Arrow, etc. For San Jose, Oyster and Scurfy
Scale, use Lime Sulphur, Scalecide, etc.
