DUTCH HYACINTHS 
Exhibition Yeirieties 
Pick of the largest bulbs — sound, plump and 
well matured. Their greater vigor produces finer 
flower-trusses for garden or winter bloom indoors. 
Hyacinths grow in any good soil but it is well 
worth-while to enrich the soil with well rotted 
barnyard manure, sheep manure or bone meal, 
well dug in and mixed. Set 6 inches apart and 8 
inches deep (to bottom of bulb). Perfectly hardy 
but light winter-covering of salt hay helps to 
prevent winter heaving of ground.
