= Double Named Hyacinths Price, Your Selection, 10 Cents Each. There is nothing in the line of bulbs which will give such gen- uine satisfaction as the Hyacinth. Producing, as it does, such 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 preferred to unnamed and mixed. Bouquet Royal—Most beautiful compact spikes of large ivory-white flowers; double and finely imbricated. La Virginite—(The Virgin.) Beautiful blush white; flowers and spikes well formed, and very large; good for pots and glasses. Non-Plus Ultra—Pure, waxy white, very large bells. Extra fine for cutting, for which purpose it should be more extensively used. It is also very useful for out-door because of its erect habit. Bouquet Tendre—Flowers of fine size, semi-double, firm and compact; color car- mine-rose. Princess Royal—Deep scarlet, extra large, compact spike, very early. Is found in every collection for exhibition, which is a proof of its great value. Regina Victoria—Fine salmon rose, good bells. Czar Nicholas—An early sort with rosy- pink bells. A favorite and beautiful variety, and very durable. Prince of Orange—Deep scarlet, extra large, compact spike, very early. This va- riety is found in every collection for exhibi- tion, which is proof of its great value. Bloksburg—Porcelain blue, marbled, ex- tra large bells and spikes, one of the finest light blue Hyacinths in cultivation. General Anticlc—A good light blue, good spikes and large bells. Prince of Saxony—Dark glittering blue, very fine large truss; early and easy to force. Carl, Crown Prince of Sweden—A good dark blue, inclined to violet; very large spikes and large bells. Goethe—Splendid pale yellow, fine bells. William III—A good orange-yellow; strong spikes and beautifully flowered. SPECIAL OFFER—As a special inducement to our customers, we offer any 12 Double Hyacinths, selected by the purchaser, from above list, for only $1.00. Sent by mail, postage paid. Or we will send for $1.00 the entire list of 14 varieties, by express, the purchaser paying ex- press charges. This is a splendid offer.

We offer them in the following sep- arate colors: (Each color may embrace several shades of flowers.) Pure White, Blush White, Rose or Pink, Red, Light Blue, Dark Blue and Yellow.
