THE DINGER & CONARD COMPANY. 



The 'Best •Hyacinths 



It is not often that 

 one family of flowers 

 are invested with so 

 many charming 

 quaUties as are Hy- 

 acinths. Nature 

 must have conceived 

 these lovely flowers 

 in one of her most 

 gracious moods. It 

 may be truthfully 

 said of them that for 

 massive, yet graceful 

 beauty, superb finish 

 of flower and inde- 

 scribable fragrance 

 they are unequaled 

 by any flower. Those 

 who have grown 

 them know that this 

 strong endorsement 

 is merited in every 

 particular. 



They are easily 



grown, and with the 



splendid bulbs we 



offer for the season 



of '95 no one need 



fear disappointing 



results, whether 



grown indoors or 



planted in open 



ground. Every one 



should include a few 



Hyacinths with their 



order. Nothmg we offer will give moregen- 



ume satisfaction. Our assortment is not 



large, but it contains the best varieties of 



distinct colors, and at the same time those 



that are highly recommended by our Holland 



bulb grower, especially for home planting.

low, the character of the stock offered considered. They are based on first- 

 class, well-ripened bulbs of the first or largest size. This is the only size we 

 offer, and the only kind we recommend to give unqualified satisfaction. 

 Second size bulbs of weak vitality can be purchased much cheaper, but it is 

 well to remember that economy in prices means economy in quality and 

 results, with a decided uncertainty of the latter not materializing at all. This 

 important fact borne in mind, and also that no extra price per bulb is 

 charged for postage — at prices named goods being sent postpaid — we feel at 

 liberty to appeal with entire confidence to all our friends for their orders, on 



the ground that no superior advantages as regards prices and quality of stock can be obtained 



elsewhere.
