DOUBLE HYACINTHS. 
Here are the old-time favorites and the wonderful Improvements made the past 
few years, In colors, freedom of flower, and delicate fragrance, only adds to their 
great beauty and popu larity. For winter bloomi ng or for early spring flowers noth- 
ing can equal the Hyacinth. They are certain to bloom and give perfect satisfaction, 
either for house culture in the winter, or spring flowering in the open garden. Our 
collection of named varieties, which we offer below are the very cream of a 
large list, and we know will give our patrons the greatest satisfaction. For 
pot culture cover the bulbs so the top will just show. For garden culture the bulbs 
should be planted about three inches deep and Ave or six inches apart, each way. 
Cover the bulbs with light manure so as to protect them during the severe months 
of winter. Another very popular way of growing this lovely flower is In glasses, and 
when grown in this way they make a most charming ornament for the parlor or sit- 
ting room. It is a great mistake to tpink you must have a "Hyacinth Glass" In order 
to flower them successfully in this manner. A glass jar of any kind large enough to 
allow the water to cover the base of the bulbs will be just as good as the more expen- 
sive jars. Try a few bulbs In water this season and we feel certain you will be 
greatly pleased with them.
