BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1900. 
HY ACINTHS — continued. 
Culture in Jardinets. — For this purpose Barr’s Mixture of Cocoa Fibre and Charcoal is un- 
doubtedly the best material to use. It should be always kept moist, and when the jardinet is removed 
to the sitting-room the surface should be covered with fresh green carpet moss. Grown in jardinets, 
Hyacinths are charming when associated with early Spring-flowering bulbs like Chionodoxas, Scilla 
sibirica, Snowdrops, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi, Iris reticulata, &e. 
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 will be 
little known to the public, being new varieties showing great advancement on existing kinds. We simply 
give the colours , as they are all of highest excellence as to form and size. Most of them have been awarded 
prizes and certificates of merit.

GENERAL COLLECTION OF NAMED HYACINTHS. 
BULBS THE FINEST OF THIS 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 (1), (2), (3) and (4) — thus those marked (1) are the first to bloom, while those marked (4) are 
the latest.
