THIS extra choice grade of Hyacinths has only very recently been introduced to the American trade, having heretofore been reserved for the requirements of European fanciers, who grow them for Exhibition purposes. For the benefit of those of our customers who wish for the very finest bulbs of the choicest varieties for pots and glasses, we have imported from one of the best growers in Hol- land, at a very high price, a limited number of the largest and most perfect bulbs to be obtained. These we offer at the comparatively low price of 18 cents each or $1.75 per dozen, postage paid. In ordering, please be careful to designate these as Exhibition varieties.
