PREPARED HYACINTH FOR EARLY FORCING 
These bulbs are specially prepared for early forcing and may be had in bloom two to three weeks before the 
regular Hyacinths. While sometimes sold as Christmas Hyacinths we prefer offering them as early January 
Hyacinths as the weather here in the United States is often quite warm during the shipping season and this tends 
to retard them. While we have indicated that other varieties can usually be forced for Christmas, the safest 
varieties for Christmas are HERALD, NIMROD, TUBERGEN'S SCARLET, and VICTOR EMANUEL. 
See tabulation of approximate forcing dates which follows. We shall be glad to supply complete forcing 
instructions upon request. For detailed descriptions of varieties see under HYACINTHS above. 
ARENTINE ARENDSEN—Pure white. HERALD—Light pink. TUBERGEN'S SCARLET—Deep scarlet. 
BISMARCK—Sky blue. IMPERATOR—Deep rose pink. SCHOTEL—Light blue. 
DR. LIEBER—Lavender blue. LADY DERBY—Light pink. © VICTOR EMANUEL—Reddish rose. 
GARIBALDI—Crimson red. L'INNOCENCE—Pure white. YELLOW HAMMER—Yellow. 
GERTRUDE—Rose pink. NIMROD—Light pink.
