PAUL J. HOWARD’S HOLLAND GROWN 
HYACINTHS 
Tall, fragrant spikes of Hyacinth blooms are among the most cherished of spring flowers. 
Holland grown bulbs are again available for garden planting, and for growing in pots or 
glasses. The larger the bulbs, the heavier the flower spikes, therefore we import only the 
choicest of top size bulbs. 
Plant Hyacinth bulbs in carefully prepared, well drained soil, 5 to 7 inches deep, and 8 inches apart. In heavy soil, do 
not cover quite so deeply. Water thoroughly after planting, and fertilize with bone meal.

Plant lily bulbs in well prepared soil, mixed with leaf mold, in a half-shaded situation that has very 
good drainage. Use no manure in the soil. Set the bulbs on a layer of sand, and from 3 to 8 inches deep, 
depending on the size of the bulbs. (The general rule 1s, plant three times as deep as the diameter of the 
bulb.) Bone meal or liquid fertilizer applied in spring and several times during the growing season is 
beneficial.
