J. M. THORBURN & CO.'S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 3 



SELECT NAMED HYACINTHS 



N. B. Our selected named Hyacinths are the cream of the Holland Nurseries under their original 

 names. Tor forcing in pots or for outdoor beds they far surpass the class of bulbs usually sold. 



The single-flowered varieties are generally more effective and better for forcing than the Double ones. 

 They also, as a rule, succeed better in glasses. The Double varieties are distinguished by an asterisk ( ^ j and 

 those of them that do well for forcing in water by two asterisks (*■•'). 



If ordered by mail, please add 15 cts. per dozen for postage. Three of a kind sold at the dozen rate.
