Fragrant HYACINTHS 
The popular Dutch Hyacinths with their rich fragrance fill an important place in the 
early spring garden. As formal bedding plants they have few equals. They also provide 
desirable and striking color masses in the foreground of shrub borders as well as in the 
perennial garden—in fact, wherever an early spot of color is desired. Plant them in- 
formally in drifts and they will scent the spring garden as no other plant can do. 
The following 12 varieties are the finest obtainable in their color classes. The size 
we are offering for outdoor planting is 15 to 16 cm., which is ideal for the aver- 
age garden. 
Any of the following, 6 for $1.50; 12 for $2.75; 25 for $5.00; $18.50 per 100
