Giant Hyacinths 
The Finest for Beds, Borders 
and for Growing Indoors 
Among the many flowers that can be grown from fall 
planted bulbs, the hyacinth stands at the top of the list. 
It is probably the easiest flower to grow in pots or bowls, 
and what could be more decorative or attractive than a 
display of hyacinths in the house during the winter or 
early spring! Equally effective and beautiful are beds, 
borders or irregular groups here and there among peren- 
nials, in combination with pansies, forget-me-nots, 
English daisies, arabis, aubrietia and hardy alyssum, or 
in the front of shrubbery. We offer the best varieties in 
a full range of colors from purest white, creamy yellow, 
through pinks and blues to deepest indigo. 
Mammoth Size Bulbs for Giant Spikes

truly giant and well filled with large, showy florets. Our mammoth 
bulbs are carefully selected, of the highest quality, and particularly 
desirable for beds, borders, pots or glasses, where the largest flower- 
spikes are wanted. For forcing, plant only one variety in a pot or pan.
