SUPERIOR HYACINTHS 



There are few flowers that can compare with the Hyacinth for the purity of. their colors and 

 the sweet delicacy of their perf\ime. For borders along walks, for that subtle touch of color 

 at the base of foundation plantings or shrub borders, for many positions in the spring garden, 

 nothing is better suited. The Hyacinth also enjoys a universal popularity for indoor culture 

 during the winter months in pots, or glasses. Our pamphlet, "How to Grow Bulbs", sent free on 

 request with orders, fully explains the methods of indoor and garden culture of the Hyacinth.
