MIXE^D HYACINTHS. 



These mixed Hyacinths are used almost ex- 

 clusively for bedding out in the Fall on account 

 of their cheapness. They are justasgood colors 

 and just as fragrant as the named varieties; the 

 difference is in the cost of keeping the named 

 sorts separate, both while planting and after 

 they are dug. The exact shades cannot be 

 given, but the general outline of colors is kept 

 separate, so that in ordering you know what 

 color you are buying. Price, 7 cents each; 

 or the entire seventeen choice varieties 

 for $1.00. 



Double Red; Double Rose; Double Pink; 

 Double Pure White; Double Blush; Double 

 Blue; Double Light Blue, or Porcelain; 

 Double Red, striped white; Single Red; 

 Single Rose; Single Light Blue; Single 

 Pure White; Single Pink; Single Blue, or 

 Porcelain ; Single Red, striped white ; Sin- 

 gle Blush; Single Yellow.

Rustic Box of Roman Hyacinths. 



Mixed Hyacinths in Bed. 



Remember, the above choice collection of seventeen Hyacinths for 

 only $1.00; any eight for 50 cents. They are all different. In ordering, 

 say "Sixteen Assorted Hyacinths," or order the color you want at 7 cts. 

 each. These are not small "trashy" bulbs, but in every way first-class. 



ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



The points of merit that commend this family of Hyacinths to me are many. 

 First, they are early — can be brought into bloom for the holidays, a season when 

 flowers are scarce. Second, they throw up several spikes of bloom to the bulb. 

 Third, they are so easy of culture; once planted they take care of themselves. 

 Try a set. They can be potted at intervals of two or three weeks apart, and you 

 can have flowers all through the Winter. 

 White. — Has elegant waxy-white bellsof great beauty and fragrance. Large 



bulbs, 5 cents each; six for 25 cents; thirteen for 50 cents. 

 Blue.— Lovely light blue, a fine contrast to the white variety. 5 cents 



each; six for 25 cents; thirteen for 50 cents. 

 Pink. — A grand new sort, with enormous double, bright, deep bells, in large 



spikes. 5 cents each; six for 35 cents; thirteen for 50 cents. 

 Red. — A beautiful shade of deep red, very bright and penetrating. 5 cents 



each; six for 25 cents; thirteen for 50 cents. 

 Canary Yellow.— New. Few novelties have come out this year which will In 



importance surpass this new yellow Roman Hyacinth. There is nothing to 



be said of it only that it is like the common Roman white, except in color, 



which is a lovely shade of light yellow. 5 cents each; six for 25 cents; 



thirteen for 50 cents. 



SPECIAL OFFER.— For only 25 cts. I will send one bulb of each of these
