HYACINTHS SOLD IN COLORS ESPECIALLY FOR DESIGNED BEDS 
Quite a number of Bulb lovers care for the colors separately but are not interested very much 
in having the named varieties kept separately. To ship them in this way, marked only for gen¬ 
eral color without name or shade, saves us some expense and enables us therefore to offer them 
at somewhat lower prices. Each of the color lots are made up as a rule of named vaiieties, certain¬ 
ly a large portion of each lot is taken from named sorts that we leceive separately from Holland.

looser trusses. They are the earliest Hya¬ 
cinths to bloom, are prepared especially for 
house blooming in pots and pans, and every

Bulb unfailingly blooms. They are very highly perfumed and a pot will scent the entire room 
with a most delightful odor. They are hardy and can also be set in the garden this fall for spring 
flowering. 
In pots or pans for the house they can be set close together, one-half inch a port spvpp nr 
eight Bulbs in a seven-inch pan, or five Bulbs in a five-inch pot. By bringing a pot at a time out of 
the cellar or closet you can have a succession of bloom from Christmas all through the winter. 
Colors are white, blue and pink, sep¬ 
arately or mixed just as you order them.

A year ago the revised law passed by Con¬ 
gress for the prevention of introduction of 
Plant diseases into the United States from 
foreign countries went into effect. The re¬ 
sult is quite a decrease in the varieties of 
Bulbs, Shrubs and Plants that may he im¬ 
ported from any country. After a few years 
undoubtedly some of those not allowed to be 
brought in will be grown at home, but in the 
meantime we must plant more generously of 
Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Crocuses, the 
Liliums, etc., listed in this Catalogue, be¬ 
cause these are all varieties that the Govern¬ 
ment officials exempt as entirely free from 
disease, and the importation of which is wel¬ 
comed. Some of those prohibited will be 
missed, but we can easily make our gardens

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ABOUT 
SIZES OF BULBS 
Bulbs of named varieties cannot be com¬ 
pared with each other for size, because all 
varieties do not produce the same size Bulbs, 
and what may be the largest size ever pro¬ 
duced by one sort may be quite small when 
compared with the largest Bulb of some other 
sort, and yet the smaller Bulb may produce 
the larger flower as it may be a Giant Flower¬ 
ing variety. If you wish to mako any com- 
parrison be sure, therefore, to compare Bulbs 
of the same named variety.
