HYACINTHS 
Greater value for your garden dollar—a Salbach 
custom— is particularly evident in the hyacinths 
we offer. Briefly, the story is this: large sized 
bulbs, already grown to their “peak” give one 
dazzling season of huge blooming spikes, then start 
rapidly on their way down, playing out in a season 
or two. 
We list instead, the smaller, or bedding size bulbs, 
which not only are destined for a much longer life in 
your garden, but which sell for a great deal less 
money. The blooms the first year are not as large, 
of course, as from the bigger bulbs, but for bedding, 
this is a distinct advantage—as the biggest spikes 
often tip over to debauch in the mud whenever sub¬ 
jected to the extra weight of spring rains. 
Our hyacinths are imported direct from Holland, 
and, as is the case with every Salbach product not 
raised in our own California gardens, they come 
from the most reliable sources, and include only the 
best varieties that are to be had. 
Bulbs ready for delivery in October for spring 
bloom. The vareties in bedding sized bulbs:
