How To Select Proper Bulb Size 
All Imported Hyacinths are graded in Holland ac- 
cording to the following sizes—14/15 cm.—15/16 cm. 
— 16/17 cm.—17/18 cm. — 18/19 cm. and over. 
The smallest size 14/15 cm. (referred to as Minia- 
ture Hyacinths) is generally used for mass display when 
economy is necessary. Spikes are small, but well formed. 
By close planting, beautiful effects can be achieved with- 
out too much expense. 
The next size 15/16 cm., is the most popular bedding 
size as bulbs are still economical in cost but produce 
larger spikes. Heavy wind and rain storms do not bother 
them. 
_The other sizes are used according to size of spike 
desired and price range. 
Hyacinths 
Radiant Ene Sf agra 
For Outdoor Gardens 
... Indoor Forcing 
... and Exhibition 
Hyacinths are indispensable in the early 
spring garden because of their clear, desirable 
colors and their perfect faithfulness in blossom- 
ing. Although many are used for bedding 
where they make fine displays ,their beauty ts 
enhanced by planting them in clumps of 5 to 
10 with other flowers of contrasting forms of 
foliage and colors to add grace and lightness. 
Their delightful fragrance is not the least of 
their charms and is very enjoyable whether they 
are grown inside or out.

First size bulbs, 18/19 cm. and over, are used for in- 
door forcing and exhibition purposes as they produce the 
very finest, tallest spike of all. However, it is well to 
keep in mind that all sizes of bulbs can be forced —in 
fact many prefer the dainty diminutive spikes of the 
smaller bulbs. 
We offer 4 of the above grades. 
14/15 cm.— Miniature 
For economical planting in large groups and colorful 
masses. 
15/16 cm. 
For general bedding in small or large groups. 
17/18 cm. 
For planting in small groups when large spikes are 
desired that will withstand moderate rain and wind. 
18/19 cm. and over 
For indoor forcing, and for growing exhibition spikes 
outdoors in a sheltered location. 
Regardless of size, all bulbs are firm, plump and healthy, clean and 
well cured — our usual superb quality. 
Some varieties do not produce large bulbs, so largest size is indicated 
in description.
