Our French grown Hyacinths are often earlier than "Prepared," but thair 
nature must be understood in order to get the best performance from 
them. Once the little knack in forcing them is obtained, they are better 
and much superior to all other treated Hyacinths, for earliest work. 
Give 75° F. from December Ist, if bud is out of the bulb. Watch their 
progress carefully, and bear in mind that these "Frenchies" soon get 
too tall. 
BISMARCK, sky blue. Best and surest blue for Christmas. 
... ROS 
DR. LIEBER, lavender blue. Blooms readily January 1st, if started Decem- 
ber Ist. 
LADY DERBY, light pink. Should be fully colored by January 5th. 
LA VICTOIRE, carmine red, can be in bloom January 10th. 
About December Ist the earliest French grown and the Prepared 
Hyacinths should have their flower buds well out of the bulb, if potted 
in good time. Pinch the pips between thumb and forefinger and you 
will soon obtain a sure “feel” of whether the bulbs are ready for 75° 
F. or not. Better wait a few days if you are in doubt. No use forc- 
ing a Hyacinth or a mule, or anything for that matter, which isn’t 
ready to go. 
L'INNOCENCE, pure white. Can easily be ready for Christmas. 
MARCONI, bright rose, can be ready January 10th. 
MYOSOTIS, sky blue, for flowers January 1st. 
NIMROD, tender rose, small bulb, can be had in bloom middle of 
December. 
ROYAL SCARLET, poinsettia scarlet. Can be had in bloom by December 
20th, if brought into the greenhouse first week of December. Put right 
on the benches in a temperature of 70° to 75° F.
