DUTCH HYACINTHS 
The most natural, truly graceful Hyacinth plant is produced from medium size bulbs, 
classified as bedding size. This grade is the most suitable for outdoor planting in formal 
parks or in drifts. This is an economical size, allowing the gardener to plant more than with 
the expensive sizes. Hyacinths lose grace when the bulbs gain in size; Tulips gain grace and 
quality when the bulbs are stronger. 
The strongest, richest effect will be achieved with the planting of Top Size bulbs. However, 
our Bedding Size is a liberal size for this purpose and will produce plants of exceptional grace 
and strength. 
We also list a miniature Hyacinth; a much more economical size to plant and which grow 
very lovely, substantial blossoms.
