Selected Bedding Hyacinths 



This grade is especially selected for extensive outdoor planting. Flower spikes are not so 

 long and heavy as those produced by the exhibition grade, but short and more compact and for 

 this reason not so liable to be broken down by the heavy Spring rains. All bulbs are strictly 

 flowering age and can be depended upon to bloom satisfactorily. Plant 4 to 5 inches deep and 

 6 to 10 inches apart. For further cultural instructions see special cultural page in back of catalog.

Dutch Roman Hyacinths 



This superb form of Hyacinth has been neglected for a long time, because its beauty and 

 ease of culture as pot plants is not generally known. They are miniatures of the large exhibi- 

 tion sorts with spikes 3 to 5 inches long and nicely formed. A 7- or 8-inch pot with 9 or 10 of 

 these bulbs in full bloom is indeed a thing of beauty. Plant same as the exhibition sorts, set 

 away in a cool, dark place for about 14 weeks and bring into bloom in a cool room. The follow- 

 ing sorts have proven best in our trials.

French White Roman Hyacinths 



These charming Winter flowering bulbs are only surpassed in ease of culture by the Paper- 

 white Narcissus. Their graceful spikes of loosely arranged bells together with their spicy 

 fragrance help to make a pleasing variety in your Winter garden. 



White Roman Hyacinths are one of the first bulbs to arrive in the Fall (generally in late 

 August) and if potted at once may be had in bloom for Thanksgiving. They may be grown in 

 pebbles or bulb fibre in bowls like the Paper-white Narcissus or in pots in soil, the same as 

 other Hyacinths. They require quite a lot of moisture and need only be kept in the dark 7 or 

 8 weeks. For succession make plantings every two weeks.

Don't Neglect Your Lawn 



Don't neglect your lawn in the Fall for that is one of the best tinves to seed a new lawn 

 or reseed an old one. Full directions for making a lawn, the care of the lawn and quantities 

 of seed necessary will be found on page 2 of this catalog.
