Considering their matchless beauty, rare sweetness, ease of culture and hardiness, it is not surprising that the Hyacinth is the most popular bulb grown. For convenience of those who do not quite understand arranging beds, we have made a selection of sets at prices much below the regular rates, to encourage more extensive plantings this autumn. The beds we have arranged are a'l of Named Hyacinths. We can substitute, when desired, cheaper sets of On —named Hyacinths, (colors kept separate) in their place, but tve strongly advise the named sets, as the bulbs are larger, will give better spikes of flowers and each color being of only one shade, the effect will be much more beautiful. Plant the bulbs 6 inches apart. "Elberon" Bed of Named Hyacinths, price, $7-00. Bed is 15 feet in circumference or 5 feet across, composed of 5 rows, requiring 02 bulbs.
