PRIZE" 





•-x. ■ 



The following Hyacinths, which we have denominated as " Prize," were selected by us as the very 

 best of an immense assortment, comprising nearly all existing sons which were largely grown by us last 

 winter, with a view of not only arriving at the test and most desirable kinds, but also to enable us to 

 shorten a long list of varieties of no special merit. All that we offer as "Prize" are grand sorts, and 

 with proper treatment cannot fail to give the utmost satisfaction. Hew fine this particular assortment 

 is likely to prove may be judged from the fact, that at the March, 1882, Exhibition of the New York 

 Horticultural Society, we were awarded the " T\VO First Prizes for Best Displays of 

 HyacilltllS, '' both of which displays were made up of the following sorts : 



Amy (Single), bright crimson, fine truss. 



Argus (Single), deep blue, white eye. 



Blanchard (Single). large, pure white. 



Czar Peter (Single), large spike, light blue, large bells. 



Florence Nightingale (Double), large spike, clear white, very tine. 



Garrick (Double), clear porcelain blue. 



Ida (Single), rich golden yellow, splendid. 



Incomparable (Single), very dark red. 



King of the Blues (Single), dark blue, large spike. 



La Joyeuse (Single), beautiful pale rose. 



La Citronelle (Single), bright yellow, extra fine. 



Leonidas (Single), light blue, large compact spike. 



Josephine (Single), deep carmine, large handsome truss. 



Gen. Pelissier (Single), very rich dark blue. 



Jenny Lind (Double), white, violet eye, splendid. 



Lawrence Koster (Double), one of the very best dark blues. 



Md. Marmont (Double), a beautiful shade of porcelain blue. 



Regina Victoria (Double). Salmon rose, truss large and de 



50p. each, $4.50 per dozen, or entire set of 18 varieties for $6.00. (Free by Mail.) 



In the above assortment it will be noticed that we name a larger proportion of Single than of Double 

 varieties. We do this for the reason that the Single sorts are for all purposes much more preferable, as 

 the flowers of the Double kinds have a tendency to drop off. For General List of Named and Un- 

 named Hyacinths, see succeeding pages.
