Special Bedding Hyacinths 
The Hyacinths selected for this purpose excel in vigor as well as size of truss the so-called Un-named Bedding Hyacinths, as these are 
selected and are consequently very superior. Plant 8 inches apart and with at least 4 inches of soil on top of the bulb. Give them the 
same treatment as other Hyacinths.

Dutch Roman Hyacinths 
These are the Hyacinths used for growing in bulb pans, and if planted 10 to 12 bulbs to an 8- or 9-inch pan, they cannot be surpassed. They are 
apparently small bulbs, but in comparison to their size they produce immense flowers. On account of their low price and splendid results, they are very 
much in demand for house culture. By planting only one kind in a pan, the best results can be obtained, as then they produce an even growth. By 
following the same cultural directions as given for the Hyacinths, failure is impossible. They are also greatly used for bedding.

Hyacinth Bulbs Grown in Our Own Holland Nurseries 
Personal Supervision Assures Quality 
On pages 16 and 17 of this catalog, we show some of our fields of Hyacinths growing at 
our Nurseries, Hillegom, Holland. These receive the same expert care as do our fields 
of Tulips. 
After harvesting, they are carefully graded. The very largest are graded as Exhibition 
Hyacinths. These are for special display where it is desired to have flowers of great size, 
each a perfect specimen. 
The next grade, our Special Bedding Hyacinths, are as large as the best grade offered by 
many houses. They are from the same fields as the Exhibition Hyacinths, and differ only 
in the size of the bulbs. 
We are not absentee growers. A member of our firm goes right into the field with 
the working crews. He supervises the planting, growing and harvesting. Then he follows 
the bulbs into the warehouse. He makes sure that they are properly cured and accurately 
graded. 
Last year, he loaded the cream of the crop on a Dutch steamer and personally accom¬ 
panied the bulbs to the port of New York. Nothing was left to chance or to those who 
have no special interest in the bulbs. 
No other house of comparable size exercises such complete control over the bulbs from 
the time the stock is planted in our Holland Nurseries until they are shipped to you 
postpaid.
