DOUBLE HYACINTH 12 Best Double Hyacinths Double Hyacinths are not considered to be so good for pots as single sorts, and for that reason are not so popu- lar. There are a few varieties, however* that are as easily flowered in winter as any of the singles — and •here they are. All select bulbs, grown especially for winter-blooming, for which purpose each variety here offered is a real gem. Please remember that these bulbs are extra large and strong. Chestnutflower — Large bells of a bright rosy red. Delicate — Splendid spike. Lovely pale blue. Grootvorst — Compact truss, large and very double bells of blush-white, with a touch of lilac-rose at center. Gerick — Beautiful blue, fine large bells. Goethe — Light yellow. One of the best of its color. Gen. Kohler — Beautiful sky-blue. Isabella — Fine, large spike, florets of perfect form; color, soft blush-lilac, delicate and pretty. La Toup D'Auvergne — Very early flowering, and the best of all double whites. Florets, large and wax-like and spikes of immense size. Finest double Hyacinths for pots. La Grandesse — Pure white, superb large bells. Noble Par Merite — Fine, compact spikes of large, double flowers, as perfect as little Roses. A soft .shell-pink, gradually deepening into a deep peach-carmine. Pres. Roosevelt — Beautiful deep rosy pink, of wonder- ful beauty. Sunflower — Extra fine golden-yellow. Price, 25c each; any 3 for 60c; the 12 for $2.20
