Prepared Hyacinths for 
Early Forcing. 
Specially prepared for early forcing. 
Also recommended for Bowl culture. 
These Hyacinths are harvested specially early and so prepared 
as to be capable of being quite easily forced into bloom by early 
January; they are therefore of the greatest value for producing a 
bright and effective decoration after the Roman Hyacinths and the 
Christmas forcing Hyacinths are over. The bulbs should be potted 
up as soon as received, plunged in a cold airy frame for at least 8 
weeks and then removed indoors to gentle heat. They are specially 
suitable for growing in bowls in our Peat-Fibre Mixture (per bushel, 
5/6 ; per peck, 1/6). For cultural directions see 'page 3.

BARR’S “ RAINBOW ” MIXTURE OF HYACINTHS. 
For Filling Beds and Planting in Borders, etc. 
Barr’s Beautiful “Rainbow” Mixture of Hyacinths. This is a very 
superior mixture to what is usually sold, which generally lacks variety of colour. 
Our “ Rainbow Mixture ” is specially made up by us from named varieties, 
the colours being judiciously blended and include deep crimson, bright rose, pure white, 
primrose-yellow, azure-blue, bright blue and dark blue. This mixture produces a most 
pleasing effect in flower-beds and borders, and purchasers cannot fail to be pleased with it.
