THE BEST HYACIMTM! For pure waxy beauty of substance, color and sweetest perfume, Hyacinths are unsurpassed, and are probablv the most popular of all bulbous plants offered at this season. They are entirely suitable for growing indoors in pots and boxes, or planting in beds or borders. All our supplies of Hyacinth bulbs are obtained from a most reliable grower in Holland, which country possesses far superior advantages to any other for growing the finest bulbs, siwe to bloom. Our lists of varieties are made up to include only the very best sorts, equally suitable for growing indoors for Winter flowers or out of doors for early Spring flowers. Therefore the bulbs we send out, being more carefully ripened, solid and of better size than the bulbs usually sold, we confidently head our lists " The Best Hyacintbs," and strongly recommend our bulbs to purchasers to the ex- clusion of all other HyacintJis offered in this coiititiy. The culture of Hyacinths is exceedingly simple, and none mav fear failure. We give, however, plain directions for growing these lovely flowers by the different methods ; also, the same subject will be fully treated in the proper season in our Floral monthly, " Success witti Flowers."
