G. C. WATSON, PHILADELPHIA, TRADE LIST, FALL, 1896. 
Early White Roman Hyacinths. 
Exceedingly dry weather has 
been experienced in France this 
season and the yield of Romans 
will be smaller than usual. Hav- 
ing made my contracts early in the 
season I am able to offer at reason- 
able rates so long as stock lasts. 
Orders should be placed at once, 
however, and I reserve the right 
to fill orders pro rata if my grow- 
ers are unable to fill my contracts 
in full when the bulbs are harvest- 
ed. On account of the probability 
of a shortage orders had better be 
made liberal. 
There are few subjects more useful than the Roman Hyacinth for bouquets, 
corsage flowers, designs, and floral work generally, and a good supply is indispensa- 
ble to those who have a steady retail trade. While it is true that in some instances 
large batches grown and sold on the open market at wholesale have not paid the 
grower in recent years, yet our low prices this season should make them profitable 
even for this purpose.

Dutch Roman Hyacinths. 
These are becoming popular as a succession to the French Romans. They are 
a miniature of the ordinary Dutch Hyacinth, and come into bloom from January on. 
Red, White , and Blue, separate or mixed, $14.00 per 1000, $1.65 per 100. 
Choice Mixed Dutch Hyacinths. 
My bulbs of these are from the best Hyacinth Farms in 
Holland, and are of the highest grade, well-ripened, sound 
and first-class in all respects. Suitable either for forcing or 
bedding. 
These bulbs must not be confounded with the low priced, inferior 
stock offered in some quarters, and largely found in auction rooms and 
in the hands of inexperienced dealers.
