Burpee’s Giant Hyacinths 
Mammoth Size Bulbs 
Especially Desirable for Growing Indoors 
These Mammoth Size Bulbs are fine for growing indoors 
during the winter in pots or pans of soil, or in special Hy¬ 
acinth glasses filled with water. 
9001 Duke of Westminster 
An Unusually Fine Selection of this Most 
Charming Flower 
We confidently recommend Duke of Westminster as one 
of the finest Hyacinths grown today. The prevailing 
color is deep purplish blue with large spikes well filled 
with bells of rich purplish blue with a light center. 
Equally valuable for forcing and bedding. 
9025 Dr. Lieber Lavender-blue, shaded violet, the 
general effect being deep blue. Large, compact spikes. 
One of the finest of the newer varieties, doing equally well 
in the garden as when forced. Blends nicely with any 
other color making a pleasing contrast. 
9004 Enchantress A lovely variety with attrac¬ 
tive long-stemmed flower-spikes. The individual bells are closely 
set on a strong stem. They are a beautiful light delft-blue shaded 
with somewhat deeper blue. Valuable for garden display and for 
forcing. 
9006 Gertrude Magnificent compact trusses closely set with 
rich carmine-rose bells. This is the favorite variety for outdoor bed¬ 
ding because the plants make a splendid uniform growth and bloom 
all at one time. Easily forced. 
9007 Grand IVIaitre A glorious spike of large bells closely set on 
a long and strong stem. The color is a rich deep porcelain-blue of unusual ap¬ 
peal. Grand Maitre is equally well suited for outdoor growing and for forcing. 
Gertrude 
Large 
compact 
trusses of 
rich 
carmine-rose 
9009 King of the Blues Those who admire 
rich deep shades will be particularly pleased with King 
of the Blues. It is, in our opinion, one of the best be¬ 
longing to the deep blue class, with elegant, long 
and graceful spikes.

gracefully arranged on a strong, heavy stem. It makes a

good-sized bells. Strong stemmed. Fine for bedding and 
valuable for late forcing.

beauty. Equally desirable for the house or garden.
