Dutch Hyacinths 
DUTCH HYACINTHS 
A special pick of the largest bulbs produced in Holland. Sound, 
plump, and well matured, producing strong spikes of great length 
—you can buy no better. This size should always be selected for 
pot or glass culture, as they are far more vigorous in growth and 
produce larger and finer flower-trusses than the smaller bulbs 
Unexcelled for outdoor planting for the same reason. 
Hyacinths grow in any good garden soil, but a well-enriched soil 
induces more perfect growth and larger flower-spikes. Well-rotted 
barnyard manure, sheep manure, or bonemeal, liberally applied, 
well dug in, and mixed with the soil is very helpful. Set bulbs 
6 inches apart each way and 8 inches deep (to bottom of bulb). 
Hyacinths are perfectly hardy, but a light covering of salt hay, 
leaves, or straw after the ground is frozen, will prove beneficial.
