Mixed Hyacinths. 



nHESE mixed Hyacinths are used almost 

 exclusively for bedding out in the Fall 

 on account of their cheapness. They are 

 just as good colors and just as fragrant 

 as the named varieties; the difference 

 is in the cost of keeping the named sorts sep- 

 arate, both while planting and after they are 

 dug. The exact shades cannot be given, but 

 the general outline of colors are kept separate, 

 sc that in ordering you know what color you 

 are buying. Price, 5 cents each; or the entire 

 twenty choice varieties for $1.00. 



Double Bed; Double Rose; Double Pink; 

 Double Pure White; Double Blush; Double Blue; 

 Double Light Blue, or Porcelain; Double Red, 

 striped white; Single Bed; Single Rose: Single 

 Light Blue; Single Pare White : Single Pink : 

 Single Blue, or Porcelain; Single Bed, striped 

 white; Single Blush.

RUSTIC BOX OF 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 

 BTe 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.
