miniature, 100 bulbs. 
If possible, please order in these unit quantities.

Don’t Let Your Bulbs Freeze 
When potting bulbs give them a thorough watering and place 
in a frame—if you have one—on a bed or cinders or ashes. This 
will allow the excess moisture to drain away. When the bulbs are 
potted and placed they should be covered with screened ashes or 
sand to a depth of at least 3 inches above the top of pots. When 
permanent cold weather sets in, cover with long straw manure 
(do not use leaves). During severe winter and on cold nights 
keep sash on the frames. You cannot expect the best results 
from bulbs if they are allowed to freeze excessively, for that 
ruins the flower germ. 
It is, of course, understood that this suggestion applies to 
northerly latitudes. In all cases bulbs should be unpacked and 
stored or planted upon arrival. 

Prevent Hyacinths from Splitting 
When removing Hyacinths from outside pits into the greenhouse, 
be sure that they are moved quickly and pots covered at all times, 
to prevent exposure to low temperatures. 
change is gradual. 
Be sure any temperature
