IMPROVED EARLY WHITE 

 ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



Srand for Winter Blooming in the 

 Window or Conservatory. 



The pearly whiteness, delicious per- 

 fume, earliness and profusion of bloom 

 has made this variety exceedingly- 

 popular. We sell annually nearly half 

 a million bulbs of this variety alone. 

 Each bulb will throw up two to four 

 spikes of bloom, and they are so easily 

 grown and so early, that if potted in 

 August and September they can be 

 brought into flower in November and 

 December and by a succession of 

 plantings can be had in bloom through- 

 out the winter. Roman Hyacinths 

 are not hardy enough for open ground 

 culture north of Washington. 



Price, First Size Bulbs, 7c each ; 75 c. 



per doz ; §4 50 per 100.; §40.00 per 1000. 



White Italian or Parisian Hyacinths 



These are extensively grown by florists 

 for the Paris flower market as the pro- 

 fusion of bloom, fragrance and grace- 

 ful spikes render them very popular 

 for cutting purposes. They flower 

 quickly after being potted and deserve 

 to be better known. The bulbs are 

 red skinned and bloom a little later 

 than White Romans. 



Price, 7c. each; 65c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



(Add for postage on Roman Hyacinths 

 the rate of 10c. per dozen if wanted by mail.)

 three weeks later than the Ee

 for pot culture and winter flower- 

 ing in window-garden and con- 

 conservatory, their profusion of 

 bloom, delicate colors and rich 

 perfume render them vety pop- 

 ular.

MUSK HYACINTHS. 



A small growing hyacinth of 

 a purplish color; emitting when 

 in flower, a strong and very 

 agreeable musky odor. Valued 

 for potculture and well worth growing in clumps in the open ground. 

 Price, 15c. each ; §1.50 per doz. 



BLUE GRAPE HYACINTHS. 



A pretty little variety producing flowering spikes about 6 inches 

 high ; with little round bells so arranged on the spike as to resemble 

 a bunch of grapes. Admirable for permanent beds and edgings and 

 partiallv shaded situations whe r e they should be planted in groups 

 of one dozen or more where they will soon spread and being per- 

 fectly hardy will take care of themselves — they are very pretty when 

 grown six in a pot in the house for winter flowering. 

 Price, each, 5c. ; per doz., 25c; per 100, $1.25. 



FEATHERED HYACINTHS. 



An exceedingly pretty variety, the spikes average 9 to 12 inches 

 high and in place of being formed of bells, as in all of the other 

 varieties, is a feathery plume, and few plants are more striking in the 

 garden or more useful for cutting. It is particularly adapted for 

 open ground culture. 



Price, each, 5c; per doz., 40c . per 100, $2.25.
