size, third size, and miniature, 100 bulbs. If possible, please order in these unit quantitiés.

following the variety, the A’s being the earliest, the D’s the latest.

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 of 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,

You cannot expect the best 
cover with long straw manure (do not use leaves). 
and on cold nights keep sash on the frames. 
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.

Hyacinth 
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. Be sure any temperature change is gradual.
