Every year our growers prepare to select the finest grade of Hya- 
cinths for us for exhibition. These bulbs are of maximum size, and 
fully aged for this purpose. The varieties listed below are grown 
especially for us, and intending exhibitors at the International Flower 
Show next spring will be interested in our selection of varieties which 
we believe, when grown for exhibition, should capture first premiums. 
We offer only the best sorts. Bulbs such as we supply should be 
planted singly in a 5-inch pot, or four bulbs to an 8-inch bulb-pan.

Matchless Bedding Hyacinths 
SPECIAL NAMED VARIETIES IN DISTINCT SHADES OF 
COLOR, TO FLOWER AT THE SAME TIME 
Bulbs measure 6 to 7 inches in circumference 
The Hyacinth chosen to represent each of the following shades of 
color is a variety which we have found from trials will be best m the 
three essential requirements: Best in its color; stoutest stem; largest 
truss of bells; so our patrons will know that we have avoided using 
varieties that are of weak stem and that do not support the blooms. 
CULTURE. These Hyacinths should be planted from 6 to 10 inches apart 
and covered with at least 4 inches of soil from the top of the bulb. For beds or 
borders close to the conservatory or dwelling, 6 inches will make a fine display; 
but where the beds are planted to be viewed from a distance, they may be 
planted 10 inches apart. Hyacinths planted alternately with narcissi produce 
a most graceful effect, and for this combination 6 inches from bulb to bulb is 
also a very suitable distance. 
Hyacinths, as well as narcissi, should be planted by November 1 im this 
latitude, as they are the better for early planting. Tulips may be planted up to 
December 1, weather permitting.
