Choice Named Dutch Hyacinths. 
The superior size and fine quality of the spikes of the choicest selected named varieties of Dutch 
Hyacinths' command for them ready sale at good prices, and most florists who have a pot plant trade 
will lind it will pay them eventually if they make au effort to work up a trade on a higher quality 
basis in the Hyacinth line. Now that tire highest grade bulbs are being offered at considerably lower 
prices, they are coining into very general use for pot plants among commercial ilorists. Only the best 
sorts liave 'been included in the following list, and those which I offer may be depended on to 
produce good spikes and clear distinct colors, thereby insuring an effective display.
