BARR’S ‘EXTRA SELECTED’ HYACINTHS for BEDDING. 
The following' Hyacinths are of an extra selected quality and far superior to what are 
commonly sold as ‘Bedding Hyacinths’ at lower prices. The varieties selected are those having 
large erect well-formed spikes of uniform height and rich brilliant colours, and only differ from the named 
Exhibition Hyacinths in the bulbs being a shade smaller in size. They may also be used with 
advantage for filling flower; boxes, rustic baskets and vases, &c. As some varieties open a little earlier 
than others, we have put them into two sections— (t) Those which commence to flower first and about the 
same time, and (2) those which come to perfection a little later, and bloom about the same time. We trust 
this arrangement will be of assistance to purchasers in making their selection.
