BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, ISIS. 
Barr’s “Prize-Winning” Exhibition Hyacinths. 
A very careful selection of a few of the finest Hyacinths for Exhibitors. 
We have selected these varieties out of many hundreds, as being specially suitable for exhibition on 
account of their grand spikes of fine form, their large bells and beautiful colours. Several of them are 
new varieties, and a great advancement on existing kinds. Most of them have been awarded prizes 
and certificates of merit. All are single- flowered varieties except where otherwise stated.
