We offer these Sets at prices much below the regular rates, to encourage 

 knowing they will give unbounded satisfaction. 



Considering their matchless beauty, rare sweetness, ease of culture and hardiness, it is not surprising that the Hyacinth is the 

 most popular bulb grown. For convenience of those who do not quite understand arranging beds, we have made a selection of 

 sorts flowering together — and of bright contrasting colors — which we are sure will give the best of satisfaction. We have 

 made a selection of Named Hyacinths. We can substitute when de- 

 sired TJn-named Hyacinths, (colors kept separate) in place of the 

 Named varieties at 40$ less. For instance, Bed G. is worth $8.00, 

 but if Un-named sorts are substituted, can be furnished for $4.80. 

 but we strongly advise the named sets, as the bulbs are larger, will 

 give better spikes of flowers and each color being of only one shade, 

 the effect will be much more beautiful.
