BARR’S 
GENERAL COLLECTION OF NAMED HYACINTHS. 
BULBS THE FINEST OF THIS SEASON’S CROP. 
UEsf Owing to the unfavourable weather experienced in Holland during last Spring, Hyacinths 
received a slight check in their growth, and in consequence we do not recommend any forcing in pots or 
glasses this SEASON, but the bulbs should be grown slowly and steadily, in fact almost cold in order to 
ensure the usual fine results. If grown in glasses keep them in the dark a few weeks longer than usual 
before removing to sitting-room or conservatory. 
The varieties of Hyacinths described below, and included in the following selections, we have 
personally selected during our many visits of inspection to the Finest Hyacinth Farms in Holland, 
and experience has proved them the most worthy of cultivation.
