Hyacinths 
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 ; Herman. Hyacinths are especially hardy and easy to raise : more are 
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 2 l / 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. (See inside of front cover.) 
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. Bury 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 are large healthy bulbs, 
and will produce the very finest flo wers. 
(If ordered by mail, allow for weight, 3 lbs. per dozen; postage additional.)
