Myosotis' 
Hyacinths for Winter and Spring 
Their long flowering period, fragrant scent, lovely flowerbunches and fine colors give them a place of their own 
among flowers, in the garden as well as indoors. They can be used for many purposes and as most of the varieties 
differ very little in color we thought it right to offer them in colors, and we need not say that we select the 
most suitable varieties for the Colors you might decide upon. However, for the real lover of Hyacinths, who always 
knows how to appreciate the particular qualities of Hyacinths, we offer 20 of the most popular varieties, among 
which are some striking novelties. These too, are suitable for any purpose, for forcing indoors, for the garden and 
also for balconies, but not for cultivating on glasses as only Motherbulbs are suitable. For treatment kindly refer 
to our directions for cultivation and to some short notes under the offers in colors.

Motherbulb Hyacinths for glasses 
We do not think there are many people who have not yet tried to bring Hyacinths into flower on glasses. Once 
done the cultivalion is very easy and none of them will fail; for the beginner, however, it may seem difficult to get 
a really heavy flowerbunch. It is not the bulb, for in every bulb the flower is ready to develop. The only thing you 
require is just that little bit of skill to draw it out perfectly. The glasses should be cleaned thoroughly and after 
that filled with water. The bulbs are placed upon it in such a way that they do not quite touch the water. Then 
they should be placed in a dark, cool, but dry cupboard, where you leave them undisturbed until they show a bud 
of about three inches. They can then be placed in the light, whilst you cover the buds with small cone bags so as 
to enable the buds to become green. It is only then that they can be placed in the full light and soon the beautiful 
flower will appear in full length, and we assure you that you will be proud on seeing the results of your efforts.
