INGLE HYAC 



HYACINTHS 



Ready for delivery in September 



The Hyacinth is so well and so favorably known that it is unnecessary to give any detailed des- 

 cription of its broad upright spike or truss usually thickly set with bell shaped flowers of beautiful 

 waxlike texture. It succeeds well in the house and garden, adorning both with the varied colors 

 and delicious fragrance of its showy flowers. 



Pot Culture in the House — Plant from September to December in rich, light, sandy soil. Place the bulb so that its 

 top will be just below the surface, care beinu; taken not to pack the soil as bulbs will be less likely to push out when 

 root growth commences if the soil is fine and loose. Water thoroughly and set in a cool, dark place for several 

 weeks to allow of sufficient root growth. They should be watered occasionally if soil appears to be drying out. 

 During their growth they should be kept near the light at a temperature of 50 to 70 degrees and watered frequently. 



Outdoor Culture in Beds or Borders Bulbs may be planted any time from October until the ground is frozen solid. 

 Plant six to ten inches apart, covering four to five inches if soil is light, but not more than two or three inches if soil 

 is heavy. Before severe weather comes on it is necessary to cover the beds with straw, leaves or manure to prevent 

 freezing, the depth of covering varying according to climate. 



EXHIBITION HYACINTHS 



These bulbs, which are of the maximum size, are recommended for use wherever flowers of the 

 largest size and choicest quality are desired. 



Our list contains the very choicest varieties in their respective color classes and we believe the 

 quality of our bulbs will be found unsurpassed. 



We have discontinued handling Double Hyacinths, the Single kinds having been found more satis- 

 factory in every respect.
