OUR MIXED HYACINTHS are good sized bulbs averaging 6 inches in circumference and over. (Cheap "scrubs'" we do not handle.) . They are well adapted for open ground planting, and as we furnish these in separate colors, it enables the purchaser to plant them out with such designs as taste may dictate. Mixed Hyacinths are also extensively forced for winter blooming in the greenhouse and window garden, and for cutting purposes on account of their low price. We strongly advise that Named Sorts be used when specimens are desired for pot and water culture. (See cut.) Single bulbs mailed free. To the price per dozen or lOO^ if desired by mail, add at the rate of loc. per dozen. MIXED SINGLE. Each. Doz.
