HYACINTHS, IN NAMED VARIETIES. 



Owing to the fact of the past spring being very unfavorable for the growth 

 of the Hyacinth in Holland, the bulbs will be smaller in size than usual ; but 

 the bud development being good, flowers equal in size to those of other years 

 can be expected from them. The crop, 'also, having been a partial failure, 

 prices will be higher than during the past year. 



First Size Fancy Picked Bulbs, in the following varieties, 12 cts. each, 

 ^1.25 per doz., $9.50 per 100. If by mail, add 24 cts. per doz. for postage.
