Extra-Selected 
DUTCH HYACINTHS 
TOP ROOTS (Exhibition Bulbs) 
A SPECIAL pick of the largest bulbs produced in Holland. Sound, plump, and well matured, producing strong 
spikes of great length—you can buy no better. This size should always be selected for pot or glass culture, as 
they are far more vigorous in growth and produce larger and finer flower-trusses than the smaller bulbs. Unexcelled 
for outdoor planting for the same reason. 
Hyacinths grow in any good garden soil, but a well-enriched soil induces more perfect growth and larger flower- 
spikes. Well-rotted barnyard manure, sheep manure, or bone-meal, liberally applied, well dug in, and mixed with 
the soil is very helpful. Set bulbs 6 inches apart each way and 6 inches deep (to bottom of bulb). Hyacinths are 
perfectly hardy, but a light covering of salt-hay, leaves, or straw, after the ground is frozen, will prove beneficial.
