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.
