These are most truly 
lovely. The bulbs are not 
quite so large as other 
Hyacinths, hence not so 
e.\ pensive, butthe spikes 
of bloom are large and 
run very uniform and 
perfect. In potsor lieds 
they can be planted quite 
close, and the effect is 
cliarming. The spikes of 
bloom are long and 
gracefully curved, and 
of the most beautiful 
colors and deliciom fra- 
grance. Nothing among 
Hyacinths can possibly 
be more satisfactory for
