HYACINTH BULBS FROM HOLLAND 
Hyacinths are a most dependable source of color and fragrance both in the garden in the early spring, and indoors where they are easily forced 
into bloom during the winter. No other bulb is more easily grown to perfection in bloom. Plant out-of-doors in clumps of three, six or twelve. Set 
8 inches apart and cover with 4 inches of soil. Don’t mix fertilizer with the soil. Spread it on top after you have the bulbs covered. 
It is very interesting to grow Hyacinths in glasses in the house during the winter. Let us tell you how an expert in this art does it. Send for the 
circular: ““How to Grow Exhibition Hyacinth Blooms in Glasses.’’ 
Here are the six varieties of Hyacinths we import from Holland, and consider each one of the best of its color: 
CITY OF HAARLEM. Large, clear yellow bells on a tall, strong spike. 
KING OF THE BLUES. Very fragrant; rich, dark blue. PINK PEARL. Deep rose colored flowers with lighter edges. 
LA VICTOIRE. Glistening deep carmine-red. Easily forced. QUEEN OF THE BLUES. Large spikes of pale azure-blue flowers. 
These Hyacinth bulbs come to us in two sizes. The largest, called by our growers in Holland “Top Roots,’ 19 centimeters or more in diameter, are 
the best for forcing indoors in the winter and are often grown outdoors in the garden when particularly large blooms are wanted for show purposes. 
A second size bulb, 16 to 17 centimeters in size, but of top quality, is offered in the varieties shown above, for planting in the garden.

BOTANICAL TULIPS 
These are the wild species, most of them natives of Central Asia. The brightly colored flowers often come with petals that are pointed, twisted and 
reflexed. In the rock garden these flowers are seen to best advantage. They are a most interesting class of Tulips. Plant the bulbs 8 inches deep and 
do not fertilize. Put them in a well drained soil and in a warm location. Let them stay where they are, do not move them. They will flower for 
many years. They are perfectly at home on steep, gravelly slopes and in rock gardens. Always plant them in clumps.
