THE BEST HYACIMTM! 



For pure waxy beauty of substance, color and sweetest perfume, Hyacinths are unsurpassed, and are probablv the most 

 popular of all bulbous plants offered at this season. They are entirely suitable for growing indoors in pots and boxes, or 

 planting in beds or borders. All our supplies of Hyacinth bulbs are obtained from a most reliable grower in Holland, which 

 country possesses far superior advantages to any other for growing the finest bulbs, siwe to bloom. Our lists of varieties are 

 made up to include only the very best sorts, equally suitable for growing indoors for Winter flowers or out of doors for early 

 Spring flowers. Therefore the bulbs we send out, being more carefully ripened, solid and of better size than the bulbs usually 

 sold, we confidently head our lists " The Best Hyacintbs," and strongly recommend our bulbs to purchasers to the ex- 

 clusion of all other HyacintJis offered in this coiititiy. The culture of Hyacinths is exceedingly simple, and none mav fear 

 failure. We give, however, plain directions for growing these lovely flowers by the different methods ; also, the same subject 

 will be fully treated in the proper season in our Floral monthly, " Success witti Flowers."
