Bulb,(l Extra Large Bulb, or 3 to 4 smaller size, to a pot), wate’r freely and place away in a rather 
dark, cool closet or cellar letting it remain there until the roots push out freely, then bring 
gradually to the light. For dishes 
of sand follow the same instruc¬ 
tions, and for growing in water 
just let the bottom of the Bulb 
touch the water. A feiv lumps 
of charcoal and a small lump of 
lime will keep the water fresh. 
If affected by lice fumigate or 
dust with Tobacco. 
EXTRA LARGE 
SINGLE HYACINTHS 
The single flowering Hya¬ 
cinths are generally preferable 
to the double flowering for both 
house and garden cultivation, 
and they mostly produce larger 
spikes and more gracefui flow¬ 
ers, and are very certain to 
bloom. Our selection is of the 
very choicest varieties for this 
country and we are certain you 
will be delighted with them. We 
have too little space for a lengthy 
description of each sort, only 
for a word or two, so we ask you 
to remember that no matter what 
others may say of their Bulbs, or 
how excessive their prices, there 
are no better, finer, desirable 
Bulbs than wo catalogue. This 
applies to all our “Dutch” Bulbs. 
These are the size Bulbs you 
should use for especially mag¬ 
nificent specimens in both house 
and garden.
