BARR’S NEW “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. 
d' indicates those .sorts which should be selected where the bulbs are required for growing in glasses.

BARR’S “EXTRA SELECTED” NAMED HYACINTHS. 
Bulbs the Finest of the Season's Crop. 
The varieties of Hyacinths described below, and included in the following selections, we have 
personally selected during our many visits of inspection to the Finest Hyacinth Farms in 
Holland, and experience has proved them the most worthy of cultivation. 
For the convenience of buyers we have indicated the relative earliness or lateness of the various 
kinds by (l), (2), (3), (4) : thus those marked (i) are the first to bloom, those marked (4) are the latest.
