W E wish to make it clear that we are listing our Giant Exhibition and 
Extra-Selected First-Size bulbs together simply for your convenience 
in choosing varieties. The Exhibition bulbs are, of course, the largest we can 
possibly procure in each variety, while the First-Size bulbs are of a more 
uniform, smaller size, but still a good big bulb. The difference in price is 
simply a matter of size. FOR BEST FLOWERS USE LARGEST BULBS. 
White 
Arentine Arendsen. (II.) The large bells are of clearest white and carried on long, 
well-formed spike. An extremely good exhibition variety. 
La Grandesse. (III.) Large, pure waxy white bells, forming a long, full spike of 
perfect form. Good for late forcing and bedding. 
L'lnnocence. (I.) The best pure white Hyacinth for all purposes. Fine large truss 
and bells. Forces easily and makes a grand bedder. 
Blue and Purple 
Captain Boynton. (II.) Porcelain-blue, with darker shading, making really a sky- 
blue. The large bells form a fine, well-filled spike. 
Grand Maitre. (II.) Dark lavender-blue, its large bells forming a long, well-filled 
truss on an unusually strong stem. Equally good for either forcing or bedding. 
King of the Blues. (III.) A splendid bright dark blue variety, having fine large spike 
and bells. Unequaled for late forcing and bedding. 
King of Violets. (III.) A fine variety of true violet color, producing large trusses, 
thickly set with fine bells. Can be used for either forcing or bedding. 
Myosotis. (II.) A fine shade of pale lilac-blue. The truss is large, well formed, and 
compact. One of the finest varieties and a grand exhibition flower. 
Queen of the Blues. (III.) Clear light porcelain-blue. The bells are medium size, 
but form a fine, large, thickly set truss on a strong stem. For bedding and ex¬ 
hibition. 
Schctel. (I.) Soft light blue; very long and perfect truss and large bells. Extremely 
good for early flowers as it forces easily. Also splendid for beds. 
Yellow and Orange 
City of Haarlem. (II.) Pure golden yellow; large, well-formed truss on a good stem, 
making it a valuable exhibition variety. The best yellow for all purposes. 
Yellow Hammer. (I.) Large bells of a lovely shade of yellow, forming a nice, com¬ 
pact truss. An excellent early variety for pot-culture. 
Rose and Pink 
General de Wet. (II.) A sport of Grand Maitre. Strong spike and stem with large 
bells of a soft light pink. Very good for pots or bedding. 
Gertrude. (I.) Deep rose-pink; compact spike on good stem. A very fine forcing 
variety and makes a good bedder. 
La Victoire. (I.) Bright, glistening, deep carmine-rose; very fine spike. Extra good 
for exhibition, although when forced it is somewhat paler color than when grown 
outdoors. 
Lady Derby. (I.) Clear rose-pink, with large bells and compact trusses. A splendid 
early forcer, and because of its strong stems, a grand bedder. One of the best pink 
Hyacinths. 
Queen of the Pinks. (III.) Lovely rose-pink; broad, large truss, good-sized bells, and 
strong stem. A sport of King of the Blues, with all its good qualities. Excellent for 
late forcing and bedding. 
Vesuvius. (II.) Glossy deep carmine-pink, possibly the best in this color. The large 
bells form a huge, compact spike.
