W E wish to make it clear that we are listing our Giant Exhibition and 
Extra-Selected First-Size bulbs together simply for your convenience 
in choosing varieties. The Exhibition bulbs are, of course, the largest we can 
possibly procure in each variety, while the First-Size bulbs are of a more 
uniform, smaller size, but still a good big bulb. The difference in price is 
simply a matter of size. FOR BEST FLOWERS USE LARGEST BULBS. 
Rose and Pink 
General de Wet. (II). A sport of Grand Maitre. Strong spike and stem with large 
bells of a soft light pink. Very good for pots or bedding. 
Gertrude. (I). Deep rose-pink; compact spike on good stem. A very fine forcing 
variety and makes a good bedder. 
La Victoire. (I). Bright, glistening, deep carmine-rose; very fine spike. Extra good 
for exhibition, although when forced it is somewhat paler color than when grown 
outdoors. 
Lady Derby. (I). Clear rose-pink, with large bells and compact trusses. A splendid 
early forcer, and because of its strong stems, a grand bedder. One of the best pink 
Hyacinths. 
Queen of the Pinks. (Ill) . Lovely rose-pink; broad, large truss, good-sized bells, and 
strong stem. A sport of King of the Blues, with all its good qualities. Excellent for 
late forcing and bedding. 
Vesuvius. (II). Glossy deep carmine-pink, possibly the best in this color. The large 
bells form a huge, compact spike. 
White 
Arentine Arendsen. (II). The large bells are of clearest white and carried on long, 
well-formed spike. An extremely good exhibition variety. 
La Grandesse. (Ill) . Large, pure waxy white bells, forming a long, full spike of per¬ 
fect form. Good for late forcing and bedding. 
L'lnnocence. (I). The best pure white Hyacinth for all purposes. Fine large truss 
and bells. Forces easily and makes a grand bedder. 
Blue and Purple 
Captain Boynton. (II). Porcelain-blue, with darker shading, making really a sky-blue. 
The large bells form a fine, well-filled spike. 
Grand Maitre. (II). Dark lavender-blue, its large bells forming a long, well-filled 
truss on an unusually strong stem. Equally good for either forcing or bedding. 
King of the Blues. (III). A splendid bright dark blue variety, having fine large spike 
and bells. Unequaled for late forcing and bedding. 
King of Violets. (III). A fine variety of true violet color, producing large trusses, 
thickly set with fine bells. Can be used for either forcing or bedding. 
Myosotis. (II.) A fine shade of pale lilac-blue. The truss is large, well formed, and 
compact. One of the finest varieties and a grand exhibition flower. 
Queen of the Blues. (III). Clear light porcelain-blue. The bells are medium size, 
but form a fine, large, thickly set truss on a strong stem. For bedding and exhibition. 
Schotel. (I). Soft light blue; very long and perfect truss and large bells. Extremely 
good for early flowers as it forces easily. Also splendid for beds. 
Yellow and Orange 
City of Hoorlem. (II) . Pure golden yellow; large, well-formed truss on a good stem, 
making it a valuable exhibition variety. The best yellow for all purposes. 
Yellow Hammer. (I). Large bells of a lovely shade of yellow, forming a nice, com¬
