Exhibition Hyacinths 



Our exhibition size Hyacinths are Holland's best, both as to size and quality. They are 

 unexcelled for pott or water culture, and if properly grown will take prizes at any show in 

 the country. Spikes are tall and full-flowered, with strong, sturdy stems, so that staking 

 is seldom required. 



CULTURE INDOORS. Dutch Hyacinths may be grown indoors in: 1, specially shaped 

 glasses; 2, pots, in soil or Bulb Fibre; 3, in bowls or jardinieres in Bulb Fibre. No matter 

 what the method of growing, the most important thing is to allow plenty of time for root 

 development before bringing into the light, 14 weeks is none tao long. 



WATER CULTURE is the simplest method; merely place the bulb in a Hyacinth glass 

 or other receptacle that will hold the Bulb above water; fill w^ith water to the base of the 

 bulb and set in a cool dark place until roots are well developed. 



POT OR BOWL CULTURE. Fill pot or bowl with earth or Bulb Fibre and plant 

 the Bulbs, so that the tips barely show above the soil. Water thoroughly and place in 

 a cool dark place until roots are developed. For proper soil and size of pots see Page 12 

 or our free booklet "Hints On Growing Autum.n Bulbs" free with each order. *
