MIXED HYACINTHS-For Bedding Out in the Fall 



These 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 separate, both while planting and after they are dug. The exact 

 shades cannot be given, but the general outline of colors are kept separate, so that in ordering you 

 know what color you are buying. 15c each, or the entire twelve choice colors for §1.50; any six for 65c. 



Double Rose Doable Blush Single Rose Single Pint 



Double Pink Double Blue Single Light Blue Single Blush 



Double Pure White Single Red Single Pure White Single Yellow 



HE3IEMBER — The above Choice Collection of Twelve Hyacinths for only §1.50. Any Six for SO cents. 





Early Flowering Double Tulips 



These Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and varied colors, shades and markings, and being 

 double, the flowers last much longer in bloom than single varieties, and in consequence when singles 

 and doubles are planted in conjunction the "time of the Tulips" is greatly prolonged. Double Tulips are 

 beautifully adapted for beds on the lawn, in the garden, and for mingling in clumps of half a dozen or 

 more around the edge of shrubbery. They are robust growers and exceedingly effective. The early sorts 

 do splendidly when grown in pots for winter blooming, but must be forced much slower than Single Early 

 Tulips, by keeping them cooler. Price, 6 cents each, or the set of 26 distinct kinds of Double Early Tulips 

 for $1.40. Those preceded with a star are the best varieties for forcing indoors.

Tulips. 



Early Flowering Single Tulips 



Those marked with a start are the best for forcing in the house, 

 but all Tulips are fine for garden culture. 



Tulips are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary 

 to expatiate upon their merits here. Their ease of culture, com- 

 bined with beautv of form and gorgeous coloring, render them 

 the most popular bulbs grown for spring bedding, and for winter 

 flowering in the greenhouse and window garden they are incom- 

 parable. The Tulip is extremely hardy and of easy culture, flow- 

 ering as freely in the shade as in the sunshine and producing as 

 fine flowers in a confined town garden as in a more favored 

 place. Double and Single Tulips, when associated together and 

 planted in front of shrubs, maintain a longer display than if 

 either are separately planted. In gardens where the flower beds 

 must be kept gay from the earliest day of spring, plant between the lines of 

 Tulips, Scilla Sibirica, Chionodoxa Luciliae, Snowdrops or Crocus, and as these 

 flower first thev can be removed or cut down when the Tulip is coming into 

 bloom. The Single Tulip has a greater variety of rich, delicate and attractive 

 colors than any other selection of spring flowering bulbs. The Single Tulip is 

 extensively grown for indoor decorations, three or five bulbs in a pot. 



Price, 6 cents each ; any Nine for 50 cents ; the Set of distinct 

 varieties of Early Single Tulips for $2.35
