No one would have expected that our old Mother Earth 
contained such entrancing fragrance had not Hyacinths, 
by some miracle of alchemy, revealed it to us. 
Here, too, we have it combined with the widest possible 
range of color. 
They open to greet us before the new spring dawns, if 
we but give them a share of our garden, and pour out 
their incense as if in token of their gratitude and thanks 
for their deliverance from a long imprisonment.

*L'lnnoeence 
This is the most satisfactory all-around pure white. Compact 
spikes with large bells. Does well anywhere.

bells. An excellent variety.

blue. Bears large, compact spikes. 
'■“Duke of Westminster 
Deep purplish blue, large bells with white center. A striking 
and outstanding variety, universally liked.

Light, silvery blue with immense, well-filled spikes. Early and 
one of the finest light blue Hyacinths.

An even tone of light blue; well-filled spike of large, sub¬ 
stantial bells. A fine Hyacinth. 
^General de Wet 
Lively light pink with a lighter center; large trusses with

!, Grand Maitre 
Deep lavender with long, compact spikes of large bells, on 
strong stems. One of the most popular lavender varieties. 
Herald 
The earliest of the Dutch Hyacinths. It is a new variety still 
little known, but we consider it the finest pink for early flow¬ 
ering and with care it may be had for Christmas. Does splen¬ 
didly in Wayside Gardens Bulb Fiber. The large, clear rose- 
pink bells of perfect form are carried on a stiff stem. 
Ivanhoe 
The bluest and most satisfactory of the dark shades. A great 
improvement over King of the Blues. Late flowering, excel¬ 
lent for bedding or forcing. 
*Kmg of the Blues 
Dark violet-blue; splendid large trusses. One of the best dark 
blue Hyacinths. 
<*Lcdy Derby 
Beautiful clear rose-pink, with large, compact trusses. Early 
and fine for forcing and bedding. 
£La Grandesse

variety and fine for bedding as well. 
^La Vietoire 
Shiny carmine-red, with large, well-filled spikes. A splendid 
bedder where brilliant color is required. 
Lord Balfour 
Lilac-tinged deep violet with a rosy reflex. A very fine truss 
with large bells and of a very distinct color. Absolutely the 
best variety of its color. 
King of fhe Belgians 
A fine clear scarlet bloom, good stem and habit, considered 
the best red. 
*Marconi 
Bright deep rose; short, broad trusses, borne on stiff stems. 
A good forcer but particularly fine outdoors. 
^Menelik

bedder and good for forcing. 
Mont Rose 
A fine clear rose-pink bloom, good stem and habit, considered 
by many better than Lady Derby. 
*Perle Brilliant 
Light blue, tinged lavender; splendid spikes with large, sub¬ 
stantial bells. A fine Hyacinth. 
Pink Pearl. 
Rose-pink. A fine improvement over Gertrude. As an indoor 
flower or in the garden it leaves nothing to be desired.

formed trusses. One of the best of its color. 
fcQueen of the Pinks

By a special cultural treatment in Holland, Hyacinth 
bulbs can be grown which will produce from 6 to 10 
excellent flowers on one bulb. We have secured about 
7000 bulbs of these Hyacinths. A thousand more or 
less of each color. If you like to grow bulbs in the house, 
here is an opportunity you must not overlook. They are 
easily grown in Wayside Gardens Bulb Fiber or earth. 
Each bulb will come carefully packed in a small box. 
Cultural instructions will go with each order. Don't pass 
up the opportunity of having several clusters of fragrant, 
colorful flowers this winter. They may, of course, also be 
grown in the garden.

The early Roman Hyacinth, with its graceful spike of 
fragrant bells, is one of the earliest of all winter-flow¬ 
ering bulbs. 
New-crop bulbs will be ready in September, when they 
may be planted in pots or pans of a compost containing 
two-thirds fibrous loam and one-third sand. They may 
also be placed in the more artistic ornamental bowls now 
available in any china store, using our prepared Bulb 
Fiber as a filler, which only needs to be kept continually 
moist, requires no additional fertilizer, and in which the 
bulbs thrive and bloom luxuriantly. Bulbs planted in 
September bloom in December.
