BARR’S 
GENERAL COLLECTION OF NAMED HYACINTHS. 
BULBS THE FINEST AND PICK OF THIS SEASON'S CHOP. 
Owing to the cold weather during the early ripening days, Hyacinths have received a slight check in 
their growth during the past two seasons, and in consequence we do not recommend any hard forcing, and 
in pots or glasses Hyacinths THIS SEASON should in all cases 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 room 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.
