EXTRA-SELECTED HYACINTHS 



* YELLOW HAMMER. L Creamy yellow; fine, compact spike 

 and large bells. The best standard yellow for pot culture. 

 10 bulbs, $1.50; 100 bulbs, $14. 



Second-Size Hyacinths 



Smaller-sized bulbs of the Single Hyacinths, in any of the fore- 

 going varieties, can be supplied at lower prices. Second-size 

 bulbs are often almost as good as the larger sizes for bedding, 

 and can be furnished at 20 per cent less than the prices quoted 

 for Cream Quality bulbs. 



Miniature or Dutch-Roman Hyacinths 



The fifth and sixth sizes, commonly known as Miniature 

 Hyacinths, are unusually handsome for growing in pots. They 

 come into flower a little earlier, and the bells are looser and more 

 graceful. Miniature Hyacinths will be furnished in any variety 

 of the preceding list marked with an asterisk, at 40 per cent less 

 than the prices quoted for Cream Quality bulbs. 



Roman Hyacinths 



Roman Hyacinths are invaluable for early forcing, and if 

 potted late in August or early in September, and given a chance 

 to make plenty of root-growth, they may be had in bloom by 

 the end of November. The spikes and bells are smaller than 

 those of the Dutch Hyacinths, but are far more graceful. The 

 blue and pink Romans are so inferior to the white that I do not 

 recommend them, though I will quote prices on them, if desired. 

 Roman Hyacinths are not suited to outdoor planting. 



WHITE ROMANS. Extra-large Cream Quality bulbs. 10 bulbs 

 80 cts.; 100 bulbs, $7; 1,000 bulbs, $62.
