Our First Size Hyacinths 



Our Hyacinth Bulbs are the very cream of the 

 stock grown by our specialists in Holland, and are 

 guaranteed to be large, solid, healthy bulbs, which 

 will be sure to bloom profusely for your next spring 

 and fill your garden with a foretaste of the glory of 

 the coming summer. The varieties here listed are 

 the very best of all the long list produced in Holland, 

 selected with scrupulous care with the desire to 

 offer our friends the very best of their kind. 



Indoor Culture. Plant in pots or boxes, using or- 

 dinary garden soil, any time from September to 

 February. Plant about two inches deep. Water 

 thoroughly and put away in a dark, cool place until 

 signs of growth commence, then bring into the light 

 and heat. For holiday blooming, pot early in Sep- 

 tember, and for a succession of bloom, plant at in- 

 tervals of about two weeks. To grow in water, place 

 the bulbs in glasses and fill with clean water ; leave 

 them in a dark, cool place until the glass is well filled 

 with roots, then bring to light. 



Open-Ground Culture. Select a warm, sunny loca- 

 tion. Ordinary garden soil, enriched with well-rotted 

 stable manure, spaded to a depth of 12 inches, will 

 suffice. Plant the bulbs 5 inches deep and 6 or 7 

 inches apart. Set out any time from September until 

 severe freezing weather. While not required, it is 

 better to give winter protection — before the ground 

 freezes, cover the beds with material such as leaves, 

 straw, pine branches, etc., to a depth of four inches. 

 Do not imcover too early in the spring.
