Giant Blossoming 
Hyacinths 
The Hyacinth is the most formal of the Dutch Bulbs 
and the most highly perfumed. Carefully grown in the 
indoor window garden, Hyacinths reach a perfection of 
color and bloom that marks them as one of the finest 
products of the gardener’s art. Only large bulbs such 
as we offer in our named varieties and ‘‘Finest Mixed’’ 
should be used for forcing, but for outdoor growing in 
beds or borders the medium sized bulbs of 15 ctm. 
are satisfactory. 
FOR INDOOR PLANTING 
Use only the largest size bulbs such as our 18 cen- 
timeter size, pot 1 bulb in a five-inch pot, or 3 in a 
six-inch pot. Place a piece of broken pot or a stone 
over the hole in the pot; then practically fill the pot 
with rich, light soil, break off all the shoots from the 
main bulb and place in the soil so that the top will be 
about one inch from the top of the pot; then fill the 
pot with soil up to one inch from the top, water well 
and set in cool, dark place. After 6 to 10 weeks they 
can be brought to the light. 
FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING 
The 14 and 15 centimeter bulbs are the most satis- 
factory sizes for outdoor planting, but as they are not 
available this year the forcing or 17 ctm. bulbs will 
have to be used. Smaller bulbs are often offered but 
we do not recommend them. Select a well-drained 
location and spade to a depth of 12 inches, plant the 
bulbs according to the diagram shown on page 2. Bulbs 
may be planted up to the middle of November but it is 
best to plant just as soon as you receive the bulbs. 
Hyacinths seem to do particularly well planted a 
short distance from the foundation of the house on the 
east and south exposure. 
Cover the bed well with mulch as soon as the ground 
becomes frozen,

BULBS FOR FORCING 
(17 ctm. Bulbs for Forcing) 
Our Hyacinth bulbs are imported and because of the war, 
it is difficult at this time to know the varieties and the 
guantity of bulbs that we will receive. We definitely know 
that we will have a limited supply of four separate colors 
to offer which are red, pink, white and blue. When the 
bulbs reach our plant we will know the name of the 
variety. Orders will be accepted for forcing Hyacinth bulbs 
by color. We will ship the bulbs when they are ready, prop- 
erly labeling them as to color and variety. We wish to im- 
press our customers that the supply of Hyacinths will be 
extremely limited, and to be assured of bulbs for winter 
forcing, we advise placing your order immediately as we will 
not be able to accept any orders after the supply in our 
original shipment is exhausted. Many of our customers were 
disappointed last year in not being able to obtain bulbs late 
in the season, and we emphatically urge you not to delay in 
placing your order for these bulbs. Prices on bulbs in sep- 
arate colors (please state color wanted). Hach, 35c; 6 for 
$1.80; 12 for $3.50, postpaid. 
PLEASE NOTE—Delivery of bulbs routed via the Pacific 
now is uncertain and all orders for Lily and Hyacinth bulbs 
are accepted subject to our receiving our bulbs. Money will 
be refunded on all orders we cannot fill. 
FINEST MIXED HYACINTHS. Choice 17 ctm. bulbs of 
the named varieties carefully mixed. 3 for 90c; 6 for $1.75; 
12 for $3.40; 25 for $6.50, postpaid. 
FORCING HYACINTH COLLECTION 
We will send one 17 ctm. bulb each of the 4 colors 
packed with 4 waterproof flower pots, for only $1.10, 
postpaid. 

WINTER ONION SETS 
Perennial or Egyptian. Plant onion sets now for the 
first early green bunching onions in the spring. These 
onions form heads on the tops of the stalk which drop 
to the ground and produce a crop the following season, 
Start a bed of these in a corner of your garden and have 
early bunching onions each year with practically no at- 
tention at all. Plant them fairly deep or hill to produce 
long white onions. These onions will not produce bulbs 
and are only used for bunching onions. Prices: 1 Ib., 
25c; 2 lbs., 40c; 5 lbs., 75c, postpaid. Not postpaid, 
$2.25 bushel.
