Guilds’ Selegted Hyacinth Bulbs. 
Beyond doubt the Hyacinth is the Queen of Spring:. Its hardiness, ease of culture, and certainty to bloom, would 
alone insure popularity, but it has the additional merit of being one of the most decorative and ornamental of plants. Its 
massive spikes of waxen flowers are of the most perfect shape and most delicious fragrance, while its colors sport into a 
hundred shades, tints and blendings. Out of the long lists of Holland growers we have chosen the very cream of all vari¬ 
eties, either for pot or garden culture. 
The bulbs here offered are not of second size or inferior quality , hut first-class in every respect, large and selected. 
Roman Hyacinths, 
pompon Hyacinths. 
Not at all like the Dutch or Show Hyacinths, though 
they do not suffer by comparison. The slender stems, arch¬ 
ing beneath their load of daintily poised bells, are the acme 
of grace and elegance, while so many spikes are thrown up 
from each bulb that the whole pot appears a mass of bloom. 
Roman Hyacinths are extra good for cutting, and so early 
that they bloom by Christmas, or before, remaining in per¬ 
fection nearly a month if the room is not kept too warm. 
They are extremely early and bloom in the garden with the 
Crocus. Two bulbs can be planted in a 4-incIi pot, or 3 bulbs 
in a 5-inch pot. The bulbs we offer are extra large and 
strong, superb for winter blooming. 
Single White— The most popular of all. Every window 
should have several pots of these. Exquisite bells, white 
as the driven snow and pleasantly fragrant. Never fails 
to bloom. Extra large. 
Single Blue— Dark blue bells. About ten days later than 
the white, with which it forms a fine contrast. A great 
bloomer. Extra large. 
Double Light Pink— The double Roman Hyacinths are 
larger than the single sorts. This sort has elegant waxy 
bells of pale shell pink. 
Double Dark Pink— Like the above, but a beautiful, clear, 
bright rose. Spikes long and heavy for this class.

Canary Yellow’ Roman 
Hyaciptb.

a soft, pleasing canary yellow. Really the finest,or all yellow 
Hyacinths. Large select bulbs, 15c. each; 3 for 40c.; 12 for $1.50. 
Extra Mixed Hyacinths 
for pots. 
Here we offer finest Dutch named gbrts, mixed. The bulbs 
are extra large and fine, selected particularly for winter bloom¬ 
ing, and are as fine as the bulbs of our named sorts, and will 
give as good results for pot culture. $1.00 per dozen. 
A class of Hyacinths with comparatively small bulbs, 
and, as they are usually compact growers, can be more 
cheaply 1 grown than the larger bulbed class. While the 
spikes scarcely average as heavy as other Hyacinths, the 
difference is small, and many specimens are fully equal to 
the best of the latter. They are splendid for either garden 
or pots, while for cutting they are best of all. Every hue, 
shade and color is found among them; the flowers are large 
and wax-like, and the spikes airy and graceful. We offer 
them so low that they ought to be purchased by the dozen 
for every plant window.
