Large Flowered Hyacinths 
For Beds, Borders, or Pots where medium sized 
spikes are preferred 
If medium sized spikes are wanted for beds, borders, or pots, 
the Large Flowered Hyacinths offered below will be found 
most satisfactory. The bulbs are of Medium or the so-called 
Bedding size, which are smaller than those offered on the 
opposite page, and the flower-spikes which they will produce 
will also be smaller. 
For the very largest spikes, either in pots or in the garden, 
plant the Giant Flowered Hyacinths offered on opposite page. 
If size of spike is not important, plant the varieties 
listed on this page. 
Hyacinths are one of the easiest flowers to grow. 
Outdoors: Plant the Mammoth bulbs 6 to 7 in. deep, 8 in. 
apart; the Bedding size bulbs about 5 in. deep, 4 to 5 in. apart. 
Indoors: One bulb is usually planted in a 5- or 6-inch pot, 
depending on the size of the bulb, although 4 bulbs may be 
planted in a 6-inch pan or 6 in a 7-inch pan. Use only the 
Mammoth sized bulbs for growing in water in the house. 
French Roman Hyacinths should not be planted outdoors in 
cold sections; they are easily and quickly grown in pots in 
the house.

French Roman Hyacinths 
9038 White An attractive early flowering Hyacinth which 
is highly prized for house culture. Very easily and quickly 
grown; they may be had in bloom for Christmas if potted up 
in early September. For a continuous display during the winter 
months, plant some bulbs every two weeks. 
Each bulb, although smaller than other Hyacinths, will produce 
3 to 5 long, slender, loosely formed pure white flower-spikes, 
which are delightfully fragrant. For best effect, plant about 
4 bulbs in a 5-inch pan. French Roman Hyacinths are not 
adapted for outdoor planting except in frost-free localities.
