BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1906. 
BARR’S “Extra Selected” BEDDING HYACINTHS. 
For Bedding, Boxes, Bowls, or Pot-Culture. 
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, etc., and for making into banging baskets {see page 35). 
As some varieties open a little earlier than others, we have classified them into two sections— ( 1 ) 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. ijS“ Orders should be sent in early to secure finest bulbs.

EARLY WHITE ROMAN HYACINTH. 
Extra Selected French-grown Bulbs. 
This charming little Hyacinth is of great value for early forcing, and may be bad in bloom during 
November, December, and January by succussional plantings. Several bulbs in a pot make a charming 
Winter decoration for the greenhouse or sitting-room, while to cut for bouquets and vases the graceful 
spikes of sweet-scented blooms are highly prized. The Roman and Italian Hyacinths lend themselves 
readily to culture in bowls of pebbles and water or our fertilised cocoa-fibre and charcoal mixture.
