HYACINTHS—Continued 
LA GRANDESSE, extra double white. Truly attractive. Start January 15th 
for flowering from February 10th on. Wonderful for LATE PANS. 
As a general rule, at least ten weeks should elapse from the time the 
bulbs go into the soil until they are housed for forcing. 
If forced Hyacinths develop foliage that is too tall, 1¢ 1s well to water 
very sparingly till the first bell has loosened from the botiom of the 
spike. After this water freely. Some growers use weak liquid cow 
manure on alternate days, giving substance and improved colour.

Our specially prepared Hyacinths enjoy a fine reputation in all coun- 
tries. From the most northern points of Scotland and Norway to New 
Orleans and Dallas, they give the highest satisfaction. Large spikes and 
easy early forcing quality. 
Start forcing in 75° F, from December 1st on, if bud is out of the bulb. 
See if the pots are full of roots. 
ANNE MARIE, (new), clear pink, tall spike, easy forcer for Xmas. Start 
forcing December 4th, 
ARENTINE ARENDSEN, pure white. Third size and second size bulbs pro- 
duce beautiful full spikes. Can be bloomed for Christmas. 14-15 c.M. 
bulbs are extra fine for cut-flowers. Longer stems than L'Innocence, 
more bells. 
Plant prepared Hyacinths IMMEDIATELY upon arrival. Put the pans 
in a very cool place where the bulbs can root best, as near to 55° F. 
as possible. By all means, keep FRESHLY POTTED prepared Hyacinths 
away from the sun or heat of any kind. 
BISMARCK, sky blue. Usually hits Christmas. Use large size bulbs for this 
early work. For very nice long-stemmed blue cut Hyacinths, use 15 
c.M, bulbs. 
DR. LIEBER, lavender blue. Can be ready nicely for January 1st. Large 
"Prepared" Dr, Liebers suffer from "green heads" when forced early. 
Smaller sizes, from 17 ¢.M. down, show much less of this evil. 
DR. STRESEMAN, clear blue, start forcing from December 10th, blooms 
January 5th. 
GARIBALDI, red. Start forcing second week of December. Ready January 
Ist. 
GERTRUDE, rosy red. Force from December 12th on. Will be ready about 
January 5th.
