HYACINTHS 
We offer high quality bulbs in an excellent range of colors, and 
in two sizes—Exhibition or First Size (18-19 cm.) and Bedding 
Size (15-16 cm.). 
The smaller bulbs are better for outdoor use, as the spikes are 
then not too heavy and are less apt to bend or break. 
For outdoor bedding, plant the bulbs 5 inches deep and 6 to 8 
inches apart. In northern United States and Canada they should 
have some protection in Winter. For indoor growth, do not use 
new clay pots unless they have been soaked in water for two weeks. 
Use rich loam and have the top of the bulb about even with the 
surface of the soil, one in a 5- or G-inch pot.

NARCISSI 
(DAFFODILS) 
Whether you cali them Narcissi or Daffodils, nothing that 
blooms early in the Spring has a wider range of beauty and use- 
fulness. They can be used in beds, in rock gardens, or naturalized, 
and always look best in groups of a dozen or more. They will 
continue to thrive for several years without being lifted, and many 
different types are available. 
For outdoor use, plant the bulbs as early as possible in the Fall, 
4 to 6 inches deep and 6 to 9 inches apart. Indoors, treat them 
the same as Tulips, but barely cover the bulbs with soil, and 
water copiously. 
We offer two sizes of bulbs, Double Nose II (DN II) for out- 
door use, and the larger Double Nose I (DN I) for forcing. The 
larger bulbs will be supplied only on early orders, as we will not 
carry a surplus stock of them. Where a price appears for DN I 
size, the variety is suitable for forcing. 
Narcissi types vary in color of perianth petals and in length, 
color, and style of trumpet, crown or cup. They are of several 
classes, as follows: 
Trumpet These have long trumpets and are subdivided into 
"Yellow", which are all yellow; “White”, which are all white: 
“Bicolor’, with white perianth and light yellow trumpet. 
Incomparabilis The cup or crown is one-third to nearly as long 
as the perianth. 
Rarrii. The cup or crown measures less than one-third the length 
of the perianth, 
Poeticus All have white perianths and flattened yellow crowns, 
more or less deeply colored scarlet or crimson. 
Poetaz These produce flowers in clusters of three to eight, de- 
pending upon the variety, on long, strong stems. 
Double These are all double-flowered. 
Jonquilla. These have smaller flowers, usually in clusters of 
two or more on a sturdy stem. 
Triandus \n this group the perianth petals are reflexed and 
the flowers tend to droop. 
BOTANICAL TULIPS 
(TULIPA SPECIES) 
All so-called Botanical Tulips (Tulipa species) are natives of 
Asia Minor and central Asia. All of them bloom early, have bright 
colors and recurved petals. They tolerate shade better than Tulips 
and are especially attractive in rock gardens and hardy borders.

CROCUSES 
Crocuses are usually planted in borders, or in random patches 
about the lawn, 2 inches deep, where they bloom very early and 
are unharmed by later mowings. Indoors they may be grown in 
light soil. Water them well and keep them in a dark place about 
six weeks or until the top growth starts.
