MY "SUPERIOR" COLLECTION OF 



SINGLE NAMED HYACINTHS.:*- 



PBICE, 10 cents each; or the set of twelve for $1.00. Any six for 50 cents. Two sets for $1.75. 



I wish I could persuade my friends to plant and cultivate more single 

 Hyacinths. The spikes of bloom are larger, they are much more showy, 

 and last as long as the Double varieties. This collection embraces all colors 

 and shades, and the varieties are excellent. Try a collection. 



Baron Ton Thuyll.— Rich, deep blue; very large and free. Extra fine. 

 Grand Blanche Imperial. — This superb Hyacinth is certainly grand. Splen- 



did.immense spike of large, pure ivory bells^waxy in appearance, vying 



with the snow in purity, while its fragrance is delicate, yet penetrating. 



Simply exquisite. The best of all. 

 General Gordon. — Richest deep golden-yellow, large spike. The very best 



in cultivation. 



Grand Maitre — Deep porcelain blue; one of the grandest of all blue Hva- 

 cinths. Much prized in Holland. 



Grandeur a Merville. — Finest cream white; very large bells and spike. Very 

 desirable. 



Lord Macaulay. — This is said by all who have seen it to be the best rich red 

 Hyacinth yet offered. The florets are extra large, spike solid and com- 

 pact, and the fragrance is exquisite. The color is a dazzling, sparkling 

 red. Very bright. New. 



La Grandesse.— This variety deserves the name of "The Grandness," having 

 a grand spike of the purest white. 



Queen of Hyacinths. — Deserves its name, being the very finest rich scarlet. 



Boi des Beiges. — Rich, dark red. Extra fine and very early. 



Sultan's Favorite. — Waxy-pink, striped bright red. A most handsome sort. 



Temple of Solomon. — Large, tall spike; large and very shapely, with very 

 drooping bells. Flowers shell-pink inside aDd deep pink outside, touched 

 with violet. A superb new sort. 



Uncle Tom. — The very darkest, almost black. A beauty.
