HYACINTHS. 
Our Mr. Barr paid his annual Easter visit to the Bulb farms in Holland to inspect the crops. The Hyacinths 
looked generally healthy, and good bulbs were anticipated. This expectation has been pretty generally realized 
by a fair average crop of healthy bulbs, which give good promise of flowering well. 
HYACINTHS: FOR BEDDING, IN DISTINCT COLOURS. 
For ribbons, beds, or groups, where specific colours are required, the following are recommended, being 
inexpensive and highly decorative. They will also be found useful for filling rustic baskets, flower boxes, and 
vases out of doors.
