HYACINTHS 
HYACINTH 
“Had many very beautiful flowers from 
bulbs bought from you last year. Many people

much admired. Red Cross sure is a fine flow¬

The most natural, truly graceful Hyacinth 
plant is produced from medium or small sized 
bulbs. Hyacinths lose grace and strength when 
they gain in size. The “Exhibition” size bulbs 
so commonly offered are not suited for outside 
planting. They produce large trusses that are 
far too heavy for the stem to hold upright, 
and the first wind or rain lays them flat on 
the ground. This year we are offering only 
one size bulbs, which are ideal for outdoor 
culture but not recommended for pot culture 
or forcing. These bulbs will produce elegant, 
graceful blooms in the garden and will increase 
in size each year.
