Boddington's Collection of "Top Root," or "Ex hibition " 



Hyacinths 



The term "top root" is a Holland [ihrase, and is used to distinguish the size of the Hya- 

 cinth bulb from the first size ; in fact, they are the largest bulbs selected after harvesting 

 the crop, and are the "pick of the market." These bulbs are excellent for exhibition pur- 

 poses, to grow singly in pots or Hyacinth glasses.

Boddington's " Inimitable " Collection 

 of "Named Hyacinths 



The following collection of Hyacinths will be 

 selected by me from the list of Hyacinths, and a careful 

 choice will be made of those varieties which are specially 

 suitable for exhibition, and for cultivation in pots or 

 glasses, as may be desired. Single Hyacinths generally 

 produce finer si^ikes, thrive better in water and are more 

 effective in color than the doubles, and we usually send 

 a larger proportion of single flowers unless instructed 

 to the contrary.

Mr. Arthur T. Boddington, New York City. 



Dfar Sir . —The hu\h season which is now closing has t)een one in record, for quality and 

 everylliing else. I believe tliat in purchasing the best <iuality of bulbs (as your firm sends out) 

 is seventy-five per cent of the labor. You may rest assured of order again.
