Exhibition Hyacinths 
Every year our growers prepare to select the finest grade of Hyacinths for us for 
exhibition. These bulbs are of maximum size, and fully aged for this purpose. The 
varieties listed below are grown especially for us, and intending exhibitors at the 
International Flower Show next spring will be interested in our selection of varieties 
which we believe, when grown for exhibition, should capture First Prerniums. The 
Hyacinth enthusiast who is interested in novelty varieties will also find this list valuable. 
We offer only the best sorts. There are several hundred varieties grown abroad 
but we do not consider that there are over thirty of them worth growing. Bulbs such 
as we supply should be planted singly in a 5-inch pot, or four bulbs to an 8-inch bulb-pan. 
As there is a slight variation in the time of flowering between the different varieties, 
we have, therefore, indicated the relative time of blooming, 1 being early, 4 the latest. 
BLEU AIMABLE. 2. A very beautiful novelty. Large bells of pale 
light blue. A fine exhibition variety. 
30 cts. each; $2.75 for 10; $25.00 per 100 
CITY OF HAARLEM. 2. Fine yellow variety, with strong stem

are a deep blue and are carried on fine trusses. 
30 cts. each; $2.75 for 10; $25.00 per 100 
DUKE OF WESTMINSTER. 2. An unusual color—clear dark blue 
bells with white centers. While a dark shade of blue it is most 
outstanding because of its bright, attractive tone. 
ENCHANTRESS. 2. Full, long truss with large bells of pale porce¬ 
lain, tinted lilac, brighter center. Splendid for exhibition. 
GRAND MAITRE. 2. Probably the most widely used variety in its 
color. Dark lavender-blue, with bells of good size, and large, well- 
filled spikes, held on strong stems.

the bells. Large fine spike. Excellent for exhibition. 
30 cts. each; $2.75 for 10; $25.00 per 100 
KING OF THE BLUES. 4. A fine variety both for outdoor planting and indoor 
forcing. In color, an attractive bright dark blue, with large spikes and fine bells. 
L’INNOCENCE. 1. A white variety extensively grown. The bells are pure white 
and of good substance; trusses are well filled and held on strong stems. 
LAGRANDESSE. 3. Perfectly formed spikes of pure white. The florets are of waxy 
substance and most gracefully placed on long stems. 
LA VICTOIRE. 1. A brilliant, almost vividly colored Hyacinth of attractive lumi¬ 
nous carmine-rose. The bells are of medium size but are numerous and form a nicely 
filled spike. One of the finest for bedding or pots. 
LADY DERBY. 1. Considered the finest rose-pink Hyacinth. Its 
sturdy stems hold erect, large, full heads of clear rose-pink. Excel¬ 
lent for forcing and unsurpassed as a bedding variety. 
MYOSOTIS. 2. Light blue, suffused with violet. The bells are not 
very numerous, but are gracefully arranged on a strong stem. 
MARCONI. 2. A variety that compares in all-round quality with 
Lady Derby, but of a rather darker shade—bright, deep rose, 
suffused white. Good stems and trusses. 
ORANGEBOVEN. 3. A rather dainty variety of remarkable color— 
pale salmon-pink, tinged with ruddy apricot. Truss of medium size. 
PRINCESS MARGARET. 1. This new variety is one of the most pleasing of the soft 
pink tones. Very large, well-formed bells carried on a fine strong stem. One of the 
best pink Hyacinths in size and color. 25 cts. each; $2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 100 
QUEEN OF THE PINKS. 3. Clear, bright rose-pink, with nicely formed trusses, 
well filled with medium-sized bells. 
QUEEN OF THE WHITES. 2. The handsome pure white bells are thickly set on the 
truss. Excellent for exhibition. 
TUBERGEN’S SCARLET. 1. Fiery scarlet spike of medium size. Bulbs somewhat 
smaller than other varieties. Excellent on account of its vivid and striking color. 
30 cts. each; $2.75 for 10; $25.00 per 100 
YELLOW HAMMER. 1. A fine yellow variety for pot-culture. Creamy yellow, with 
a well-filled truss of large bells. 
Price of above varieties unless otherwise noted. We place large contracts 
for the above varieties and thus secure the pick of the crop. This enables us to 
offer at a uniform price of 20 cts. each; $1.90 for 10; $17.00 per 100. 
French Roman Hyacinths 
French Roman Hyacinths are among the earliest bulbs to be had in flower. The 
bulbs arrive from France late in August, and they may be had in flower from November 
all through the winter months, if potted up in September and at intervals of every 
two weeks. They are much prized for pots or cutting on account of their graceful 
appearance and delicate fragrance.
