Finest Double Named Hyacinths Price, your selection, 10 cents each. HERE is nothing in the line of bulbs which will give such gen- uine satisfaction as the Hyacinth. Producing as it does such â *⢠elegant spikes, and with its great durability and fragrance, it is unexcelled for out-door or window culture. Our grower is one of the best in Holland, and we list below such varieties as we know are especially fine, for producing fine spikes, large bells, and exquisite colorings. Our bulbs are of good size, solid and well-formed. Named Hyacinths are to be pref ered to unnamed and mixed. Bouquet TendreâFlowers of fine size, semi- double, firm and compact; color, carmine-rose. Ne Plus UltraâPure waxy-white, very large bells. Extra fine for cutting, for which pur- pose it should be more extensively used. It is also very useful for out-door because of its erect habit, Prince of OrangeâDeep scarlet, extra large, compact spike, very early. This variety is found in every collection for exhibition, which is a proof of its great value. La Virginiteâ(The Virgin.) Beautiful blush white,flowers and spikes well formed, and very large; good for pots and glasses. BloksburgâPorcelain blue, marbled, extra large bells and spikes, one of the finest light blue Hyacinths in cultivation. Czar NicholasâAn early sort with rosy- pink bells. A favorite and beautiful variety, and very durable. Bouquet Royal âMost beautiful compact strikes of larpre ivory-white flowers, double and finely imbricated. GoetheâFinest pure sulphur-yellow, very double, good truss. This shhde is very rare. GarrickâA rich azure-blue, fine compact spike; an early and easy forcing kind. GrootvorstâCompact truss; large and very double bells of blush-white, with a touch of lilac-rose at center. Prince of SaxonyâDark glittering blue, very fine large truss; early and easy to force. Prince of WaterlooâPure white, large, com- pact spike. Very fine for early forcing, for which it is used in enormous quantities. We recommend this for growing in quantity, either for forcing or for out-door. It always gives good satisfaction. ;M i ⢠11 m m mi â¢1 mi »i mm i ⢠⢠mm tit t_ ^ ^ ^ ^ cent" each^ "/this"!
