FEATHERED HYANCITH. 
(COCKADE HYACINTH.) 
These are certainly the loveliest flowers that 
have been offered for many years. The peculiar 
shape of blossom, with its cockade or feathered 
like form is without doubt the most graceful of 
flowers. As thestcm increases In size the flowers of 
plume-like shape develop rapidly until they reach a 
length of from eight to twelve inches. 
Our Illustration Is a correct representation of this Hya- 
cinth, and we hope none of our friends will overlook It 
when making up their order, for they open up an entirely 
new field of beauty which will be a source of delight to all 
flower lovers. Our strain of the Feather Hyacinth is the 
very best and much superior to many which are being of- 
fered by some Arms. 
In addition to its great value as a winter bloomer, It Is 
a most desirable bulb for outdoor flowering. 5c each, 6 
for 25c, 12 for 40c.
