Giant Flowered Hyacinths 
The Finest for Beds and Borders and for Growing Indoors 
Among the many flowers that can be grown from fall-planted bulbs the Hyacinth stands at the top of the list. It is 
probably the easiest flower to grow in pots or bowls, and what could be more decorative or attractive than a display of 
Hyacinths in the house during the winter or early spring! Equally effective and beautiful are beds, borders or groups of 
Hyacinths here and there among perennials or in front of shrubbery. One of the easiest flowers to grow anywhere. From 
a long list of named Hyacinths we have selected those offered on account of their free-flowering qualities and distinct colors. 
How to Grow Hyacinths 
Outdoors: Plant Mammoth bulbs 6 to 7 in. deep, 8 in. apart; Medium size bulbs, 6 in. deep, 6 in. apart. 
Indoors: One bulb is usually planted in a 5- or 6-inch pot, depending on the size of the bulb, although 4 bulbs 
may be planted in a 6-inch pan or 6 in a 7-inch pan. Use only the Mammoth size bulbs for growing in water in 
the house. French Roman Hyacinths should not be planted outdoors in cold sections; they are easily grown in 
pots or bulb-pans in the house during the winter/
