BULBS, PLANTS, AND SEEDS. 
HYACINTHS. 
Hyacinths hold the foremost place among spring 
flowering bulbs. Their dainty, waxy, bell-like flow#rs, 
in such a variety of shades, their delicious fragrance and 
easy culture have endeared them to the hearts of all. 
They can be grown with equal success in earth, sand, 
moss or water; thus we can have them in vases, bowls, 
shells, wire-work, etc. What can give more pleasure in 
our homes during the cold winter months, than to grow 
these lovely flowers, making bits of beauty in a some¬ 
what cheerless season. They are equally desirable for 
planting in beds, or in the garden border. 
Garden Culture: The bulbs should be planted in 
October, or the early part of November, 6 inches apart 
and 4 inches deep in light, rich soil. A handful of sand 
nnder each bulb is beneficial. 
Mixed Hyacinths. 
CHOICE HYACINTHS FOR BEDDING OR FORCINC, 
In Separate or Mixed Colors. 
These are composed of splendid varieties which are unexcelled where an effective display is wanted. All are 
sound, flowering bulbs and comprise the finest shades of color, and are much superior to the common mixtures. 
The extremely low price should cause them to be extensively planted, and we know they cannot fail to give the 
greatest satisfaction in every respect.
