the earliest of all Hyacinths, L^Li^^^^^M^m 

 and the finest for cutting. If \^^^^r^J^ j 

 potted in August and September ^^^KJjnw^^ 

 they can be brought in bloom ^^^^^fE^C^^ 

 by Thanksgiving, and a succes- 

 sion of plantings will give flowers all winter. Al- 

 though their blossoms are smaller than those of the 

 Dutch Hyacinth, they can be produced much more 

 liberally, and their grace, perfume and purity of color 

 rank them easily first for cut flowers, while for floral 

 design work they are greatly superior to the larger 

 and more showy sorts. Plant from 3 to 5 bulbs in a 

 medium sized pot. Pure white, and very graceful 

 and delicate in appearance. 



Postage 10 cents per dozen extra. 

 Price, 5 cts. each; 40 cts. per dozen; $2.80 per ido.
