Named Hyacinths, Extra- Selected First-Sized Bulbs 



Single-flowering varieties are principally grown, both in indoor and outdoor culture. They force more readily and, as a rule, produce 

 larger and finer spikes of flowers than double-flowering varieties. Double Hyacinths are entirely satisfactory for bedding or pot culture, 

 but require a longer season for their development. The figures i, 2, 3 and 4 placed after the names of varieties, indicate the comparative 

 time of blooming, No. i being the earhest to bloom and No. 4 the latest. \'arieties in heavy type at the head of each list of colors are the cream 

 of the recent introductions in Hyacinths. Double Hyacinths are indicated by a star i*). 



Price, except where noted, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $8 per 100. If to be sent postpaid, add to catalogue price 2 cts. for each bulb, 



8 cts. for 6 bulbs, 15 cts. per doz. bulbs.
