and a grand exhibition variety. $3.25 per doz.; $22.50 
per 100.

vidual bells. An outstanding exhibition variety. $5 per 
doz.; $35 per 100.

Hercules. The very best Hyacinth grown. Huge, well- 
formed spike much larger than ordinary varieties. The 
color is deep rose. Unsurpassed as an exhibition variety.

of a reddish apricot-orange color. Not a large flower, but

GIANT EXHIBITION AND EXTRA-SELECTED FIRST-SIZE 
HYACINTHS 
We wish to make it clear that we are listing our Giant 
Exhibition and Extra-selected First-size bulbs together 
simply for your convenience in choosing varieties. The 
Exhibition bulbs are, of course, the largest we can possibly 
procure in each variety, while the First-size bulbs are of a 
more uniform, smaller size, but still a good big bulb. The 
difference in price is simply a matter of size. FOR BEST 
FLOWERS USE LARGEST BULBS. 
Giant Exhibition Bulbs.$2.50 per doz.; $17.50 per 100

truss, good-sized bells, and strong stem. A sport of King 
of the Blues, with all its good qualities. Excellent for late
