WHOLESALE PRICE-LIST BULBS, PALMS, ETC. F. R. PIERSON CO., TARRYTOWN-ON-HUDSON, N. Y. 5 Fine Named HyacmtHs. We recommend this grade particularly for bedding, and it is also very satisfactory for forcing. The bulbs are a size smaller than the Selected Nanied, but can be offered at only a slight advance over the price of Mixed Hyacinths in Separate Colors, and, consequently, are much more desirable; for when bedded out or used for forcing, they bloom evenly and at one time* while the mixed hyacinths, no matter how carefully selected, bloom more or less irregularly and unevenly.

These are largely used for bedding, and by many florists are used for forcin the very best quality of these. SINGLE.

These Dutch Romans are valuable, not only for cutting, but also for growing in pans. They can even be used for bedding where a cheap hyacinth is desired, producing surprisingly large spikes of bloom, considering the size of the bulbs. Owing to the scarcity and high prices of French Romans and the better quality and lower prices of Dutch Romans, florists will find these Dutch Romans verv desirable and profitable. We offer only the finest named sorts, which bloom evenly and at one time—those that have been found most satisfactory for forcing, and those that produce the largest spikes of bloom, and of the most desirable colors. The bulbs are of the largest size and of first-class quality, and the prices at which they are offered should not be compared with the prices of inferior grades or of mixtures in separate colors usually offered, which bloom more or less irregularly, while our named sorts bloom evenly and at one time, making them very much more desirable and valuable.
