Double Early Tulips 



Double Early Tulips 



The double varieties cannot be forced so early or readily as the 

 single. One of the earliest, Salvator Rosa, may be had by the middle 

 of January, while varieties preceded by a star (*) may be flowered 

 from January to March. The flowers are large and brilliant and are 

 effective in beds or groups. If grown in pots, do not attempt flowering 

 before they are well rooted.

HYACINTHS 



Giant Exhibition Bulbs 19—20 cm. 



Far oftener than is generally recognized, inferior stocks of bulbs 

 are sold under the caption ''Exhibition Hyacinths." While it is 

 impossible for anyone to judge the shade or form of the flower that 

 is tacked away within the inner recesses of a bulb, the one criterion 

 to judge by is size, and in offering genuine Exhibition Hyacinths, we 

 feel that the truth should be told — size should be stipulated, 19 to 20 

 cm. Any other description, no matter how alluring the adjectives, 

 does not give evidence of Exhibition Hyacinth standard. 



These are varieties selected for their large-sized spikes, elegance 

 of form, and beauty and richness of color. The bulbs are of mammoth 

 size — the cream of the crop — and naturally command advanced 

 prices. We offer this grade only in limited quantities and request 

 early orders for them. Exhibition Hyacinth bulbs are unsurpassed 

 for growing in pots but are not suitable for outdoor work; they are 

 too large to grow in Hyacinth glasses but may be flowered in any 

 large vase, if this is preferred to pot culture. If to be sent by parcel 

 post, add postage at your zone rate. One dozen bulbs weigh 

 4 pounds.
