EXHIBITION HYACINTHS 
French Roman Hyacinths 
French Roman Hyacinths are among the earliest bulbs to be had in 
flower. The bulbs arrive from France late in August, and, like all bulbs 
grown in the south of France, they may be had in flower from November all 
through the winter months, if potted up in September and at intervals of 
every two weeks. They are much prized for pots or cutting on account of 
their graceful appearance and delicate fragrance.

French Roman Hyacinths 
Every year our growers prepare to select the finest grade of Hyacinths for us for 
exhibition. These bulbs are of maximum size, and fully aged for this purpose. The 
varieties listed below are grown especially for us, and intending exhibitors at the 
International Flower Show next spring will be interested in our selection of varieties 
which we believe, when grown for exhibition, should capture First Premiums. The 
Hyacinth enthusiast who is interested in novelty varieties will also find this list valuable. 
We offer only the best sorts. There are several hundred varieties grown abroad 
but we do not consider that there are over thirty of them worth growing. Bulbs such 
as we supply should be planted singly in a 5-inch pot, or four bulbs to an 8-inch bulb-pan. 
As there is a slight variation in the time of flowering between the different varieties, 
we have therefore indicated the relative time of blooming, 1 being early, 4 the latest.

well filled with large bells of pure snowy white. 
CITY OF HAARLEM. 2. Fine yellow variety, with strong stem
