BECKERTS SEED STORE, 101 AND 103 FEDERAL STREET, N. S., PITTSBURGH, PA. Named Hyacinths, Extra-Selected First-Sized Bulbs Single-flowering varieties are principally grown, both in indoor and outdoor culture. They force more readily and, as a rule, produce larger and finer spikes of flowers than double-flowering varieties. Double Hyacinths are entirely satisfactory for bedding or pot culture, but require a longer season for their development. The figures i, 2, 3 and 4 placed after the names of varieties, indicate the comparative time of blooming, No. i being the earhest to bloom and No. 4 the latest. \'arieties in heavy type at the head of each list of colors are the cream of the recent introductions in Hyacinths. Double Hyacinths are indicated by a star i*). Price, except where noted, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $8 per 100. If to be sent postpaid, add to catalogue price 2 cts. for each bulb, 8 cts. for 6 bulbs, 15 cts. per doz. bulbs.
