Hyacinths 
Hyacinths in Holland 
To grow a good Hyacinth is just as easy as to grow a poor one. Good Hyacinths 
come from good bulbs like ours, and here is a list of excellent varieties: Grand" Maitre ; 
Queen of the Blues; King of the Blues; Albertine ; Gertrude; Gigantea ; Roi des Beiges; 
City of Haarlem ; H erman. Hyacinths are especially bardv and easy to raise: more arc 
needed in every garden. Plant in a situation out of the" full glare of the sun. The 
blooms last longer. Single Hyacinths are better than double; the spikes are equally full 
on both single and double. Hyacinths can be flowered successfully in glass in the house; 
very fragrant. 
Culture. Spade and manure the ground a month before planting the bulbs, using a little 
bone meal well dug in. Set the bulbs 2y 2 inches under ground at the top in damp places and 4 
inches under in dry spots and 7 to 8 inches apart. To have all of the bulbs flower at one time, 
see that the bulbs are set at an even depth. For house growing use our Bulb Fibre. (Sec 
page 1.) 
For potting use a mixture of river sand, rotted manure and fibrous loam in equal parts. 
Use a 5 or 6-inch pot or 3 bulbs to a 7-inch pot and let a third of the bulb be above ground. 
Rtiry the pot for six weeks to let the bulbs root and then bring into the house to force them 
into flower. 
Our named varieties of Hyacinths are all of first size, and arc large, healthy bulbs, 
and will produce the very finest flower s.
