Every year our growers prepare to select the finest grade of Hyacinths 
for us for exhibition. These bulbs are of maximum size, and fully aged for 
this purpose. The varieties listed below are grown especially for us, and in- 
tending exhibitors at the International Flower Show next spring will be 
interested in our selection of varieties which we believe, when grown for 
exhibition, should capture first premiums. 
We offer only the best sorts. Bulbs such as we supply should be planted 
singly mn a 5-inch pot, or four bulbs to an 8-inch bulb-pan.

HYACINTHS 
SPECIAL NAMED VARIETIES 
IN DISTINCT SHADES OF COLOR, 
TO FLOWER AT THE SAME TIME 
Bulbs measure 6 to 7 inches in circumference 
The Hyacinth chosen to represent each of the 
following shades of color is a variety which we have 
found from trials will be best in the three essential 
requirements: best in its color; stoutest stem; 
largest truss of bells; so our patrons will know that 
we have avoided using varieties that are of weak 
stem and that do not support the blooms. 
Culture. These Hyacinths should be planted from 6 to 
10 inches apart and covered with at least 4 inches of soil 
from the top of the bulb. For beds or borders close to the 
conservatory or dwelling, 6 inches will make a fine display; 
but where the beds are planted to be viewed from a distance, 
they may be planted 10 inches apart. Hyacinths planted 
alternately with narcissus produce a most graceful effect, 
and for this combination 6 inches from bulb to bulb is also 
a very suitable distance. 
Hyacinths, as well as narcissus, should be planted by 
November 1, in this latitude, as they are the better for 
early planting. Tulips may be planted up to December 1, 
weather permitting.
