DUTCH HYACINTHS, Continued 
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 urge the planting of Miniature Hyacinths for the garden. The name is perhaps mis¬ 
leading as the blossoms are not of miniature size. The flower spike is quite as large as from the 
top-size bulbs and the characteristics of color, fragrance, size of bells, etc. are identical, but 
the spike is more graceful; not so compact. Use these Miniature Hyacinths for massive border 
effects; they are so much more economical.

BULBOUS IRIS 
DUTCH IRIS— 
An ideal flower for garden and cutting use. 
Grows 18 to 36 inches on straight stems with 
reedlike foliage which dies down after the 
blooming season. Ideal to plant with tulips 
and daffodils. 
Plant early and late blooming varieties at 
intervals from October to December to extend 
the flowering season from February to May. 
Iris do well in the full sun as well as partial 
shade and should be given the same planting 
treatment as tulips.
