SELECT NAMED DUTCH HYACINTHS 



N. S. Our Select 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 (*) and those of 

 them that do well for forcing in water by two asterisks (**).
