BARR’S EXTRA EARLY MINIATURE HYACINTHS. 
For Very Early Forcing;. 
These Ilpcinths are harvested specially early and so prepared as to b; capable of being quite 
easily forced into bloom by January, and are therefore of the greatest value for producing a bright and 
effective decoration during the period between the flowering of the Roman and Italian Hyacinths and the 
ordinary Dutch pot Hyacinths. The bulbs should be potted up by the middle of September, plunged in 
a cold airy frame, and removed indoors to a gentle heat about the middle of November.
