HYACINTHS 
Chief among the favorites with lovers of fall bulbs is the Hyacinth. 
Their delicately etched blooms are color in the most brilliant of hues— 
every imaginable shade of red, yellow, blue, and white. They can be 
grown out-of-doors, in pots, or in Hyacinth glasses with water. 
Culture—Plant bulbs 4 to 5 inches deep, 6 to 10 inches apart. For 
planting indoors, see general planting instructions on page 14. 
EXHIBITION HYACINTHS 
These first-size Hyacinth bulbs are suitable for both indoor and out¬ 
door culture. When planting bulbs for flowering in the house, the first 
size should be used in preference to the others, as they force easily and 
bear large, well-developed trusses.

POLYANTHUS 
NARCISSI 
Paper-White Grandi- 
flora. This is the 
most satisfactory 
bulb that can be 
grown in the house 
for winter blooming. 
Bulbs placed in a 
bowl in water and 
pebbles will bloom in 
from 6 to 8 weeks 
from time of planting, and 
are superior to Chinese 
Lilies. The flowers are 
larger, more attractive in 
color, and very fragrant. 
A very unique and simple 
way to grow this variety 
of Narcissus is to p;ace six 
to eight bulbs in a shallow 
glass or china bowl in 
water, supporting the 
bulbs with pebbles or gra¬ 
vel as you would the Chi¬ 
nese Lily, and place the 
bowl in the dark until the 
roots have started, when 
you should bring them to 
the light. The water re¬ 
quires changing occasion¬ 
ally to keep it pure. Do 
not add cold water; see 
that it is slightly warm. 
Planted any time in Sep¬ 
tember or October, they 
can be easily brought into 
flower by Christmas. They 
can also be planted later 
to provide a succession of 
bloom.

A species of Polyanthus Narcissus introduced from China. 
The bulbs are large, measuring 8 to 10 inches in circumference, 
and throw up from five to ten flower-spikes, bearing clusters of 
large, perfect, waxy blossoms, with yellow centers and having a 
most delicious fragrance. They may be grown in pots, but are 
most successful when cultivated in water the same as in China.

to hold them upright will give a profusion of bloom during the 
winter months. Large bulbs, 10 cts. each, $1.00 per doz., $7.50 
per 100. 
This is the size that is especially adapted for outdoor planting for 
beds, borders, and for massing. Bulbs are of uniform size and produce
