HYACINTHS —continued. 
Culture in Jardinets. — For this purpose Barr’s Mixture of Cocoa Fibre and Charcoal is 
undoubtedly the best material to use. It should be always kept moist, and when the jardinet is removed 
to the sitting-room the surface should be covered with fresh green carpet moss. Grown in jardinets, 
Hyacinths are charming when associated with early spring-flowering bulbs like Chionodoxas.'Scilla 
sibirica, Snowdrops, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi, Iris reticulata, etc. 
BIRR’S NEW “ PRIZE-WINNING ” EXHIBITION HYACINTHS. 
A very careful selection of a few of the finest Hyacinths for Exhibitors. 
We have selected these varieties specially out of many hundreds, as being specially suitable for exhibition 
on account of their gr tnd spikes of fine form, their large bells and beautiful colours. Several of them will be 
little known to the public, being new varieties and great advances on existing sorts. We simply give the colours 
as they are all of highest excellence in form and size. Most of them have been awarded prizes and certificates 
of merit.
