 handle will be given in our Wholesale Price List issued September 1st. Our stocks are coming from the most 



reliable growers, and under favorable conditions should give satisfactory results. Should any reduction in prices be made in 

 our September list, customers who place their orders now will receive the benefit of same. It is quite likely that some of the prices 

 will be advanced in the next list, and it is to your best interests to order now. 



All prices include cost of bulbs, duty, packing and delivery to any freight or express line in Philadelphia. 



Dutch Roman Hyacinths 



Excellent for growing in pots, pans, or boxes ; flowering later 

 than the French Romans. We offer a selection of the 12 best 

 named varieties for forcing, including Gertrude, Gigantea, La 

 Grandesse, Czar Peter, etc. The bulbs measure 12 centimeters 

 and over in circumference, and must not be confounded with 

 smaller unnamed miniatures. Our selection of varieties, #2.00 

 per 100; $18 00 per 1000. 



Select Second Size 



Named Hyacinths 



These are smaller than our selected first size bulbs, but are 

 fine flowering stock, and largely used for forcing in pots, etc. , 

 also for bedding ; better in every way than mixtures. We carry 

 20 of the very finest varieties in stock, such as Chas. Dickens, 

 Gertrude and Roi des Beiges in reds and pinks ; La Grandesse. 

 LTnnocence and Mme. van der Hoop in whites ; Grande 

 Maitre, King of the Blues and Czar Peter in blues, etc. A full 

 list of the varieties will be given in our September Wholesale 

 Price List, in the meantime we will be pleased to accept orders 

 in assorted colors. Our selection of varieties, #4.00 per loo ; 

 #38.00 per 1000. 



Extra Selected First Size 



Named Hyacinths 



The superiority of Named Hyacinths for forcing and bedding 

 is attested by the increasing sales every year. They can always 

 be depended upon to produce large, full spikes, which command 

 a much higher price and readier sale than the inferior blooms 

 produced by the mixed sorts. We handle only the very finest 

 kinds in both single and double flowering. Full descriptive list 

 will be given in our next catalogue. We will furnish assorted 

 varieties (our selection) at $5.75 per 100 ; $55.00 per 1000.

 sold in mixture, which rarely run over 12 centimeters in circumference.
