They yield splendid spikes of flowers which appear well in a bed, and are fine for cutting. I heartily recommend them. A Choice Hyacinth Collection. I have made up a fine collection of single and double named Hyacinths of all the most distinct colors, and offer them at a low price. These are all splendid imported bulbs, small but sound, and are suitable for either window or garden culture. These bulbs are grown in Holland for me by a firm of florists celebrated for the superior production of flowering bulbs, and as they are contracted for in immense quantities they are obtained at such rates that I can give special low prices to my patrons. I offer the entire collection of thirteen fine bulbs, all different, for only 40 cents, packing carefully and sending by mail, postage prepaid, guaranteeing their safe arrival. They all bloom at the same time when planted out, and the display in the latitude of southern Pennsylvania will last from about the middle of April till the middle of May, each bulb producing sev- eral spikes of bloom in succession. I will supply 325 bulbs (25 bulbs of each variety) for only $9.75, delivering by mail or express free of all charge to you. Planted out these bulbs, unlike Hyacinths of larger size, will improve from year to year, instead of dete- riorating. They are the most desirable for bedding, the bed being of porous, sandy soil, and elevated so that water will not ac- cumulate upon it. Following is the list: NAMED SINGLE HYACINTHS. Gertrude, bright waxy pink, truss large and compact; a fine show variety. Gen. Peliasier, rich crimson scarlet; fine. Gigantea, light rose, large bells, extra large compact truss; very early. Snoiv Queen, very fine pure white; superb bells, handsome truss. Voltaire, exquisite creamy white, attractive. Grandeur a Merveille, finest blush white; fine large truss.

The above collection, 13 choice Hyacinth bulbs, only 40 cents postpaid; or 325 bulbs (25 bulbs of each sort), by mail or express free of charge, for only $9.75. I have a large stock of the above varieties, but should my stock o# any variety run short I reserve the right to'substitute,
