HYACINTHS 
PINK AND ROSE HYACINTHS 
G. VAN DER MEY. Early. 
flower develops. 
Deep rose, getting darker as 
LADY DERBY. Midseason. Very pale pink, lighter than 
Princess Margaret. 
MARCONI. Late blooming. Very dense spike of rose pink 
bells; the latest to open in our field. 
PINK PEARL. Midseason. Rich, deep rose; very strong 
and handsome spike. An all-round variety for bedding, 
forcing, or growing in pots or bowls. Large spike. 
PRINCESS MARGARET. Midseason. A true, soft pink 
with large bells and large spike. We consider this the 
best of the true pinks; does not darken in the field but 
holds its color throughout the season. 
WHITE HYACINTHS 
CARNEGIE. Late. Huge spikes of pure white bells, waxy 
in texture. This is a new one and really fine. Trusses are 
extra large and individual florets large and compact 
on stem. 
L’INNOCENCE. Pure white. The old reliable and still 
good. Its bedding and forcing qualities have stood the 
test of time. 
YELLOW HYACINTHS 
CITY OF HAARLEM. Compact bloom of creamy yellow 
fading to creamy white as flower matures. Form and 
substance good. Bedding qualities excellent and valua- 
ble for pots.

““My bulbs came this week, I planted them today .. . I came in with 
stickers in my fingers and a ‘crick’ in my back, but a song in my heart! 
I’ve pored over the catalog again tonight. You folks will probably 
never be rich, except in friends . . . The personal touch leaves a warm 
glow ... Dutch iris bloom here in late March, April and May.”

DOUBLE HYACINTHS 
Double hyacinths are of unusual merit. The duplication 
of the petals gives a miniature camellia appearance: to the 
florets. There are fewer bells, which give the spike an 
admirable grace. Most gardeners have never seen these 
charming and fragrant flowers. We urge you to make a 
trial planting of a few of them. Only three varieties avail- 
able at this time. 
Double Hyacinths—AIl varieties priced at 3 bulbs (one 
variety) 75c; 12 for $2.50. 
BEN NEVIS. The best double white we have grown; large 
truss loosely set with large flowers. 
CHESTNUT FLOWER. The one and only good double 
soft pink; large bells: very fine for pots. 
GENERAL KOHLER. Bright blue, fully double flowers; 
extra fine.
