Our First Size Hyacinths Our Hyacinth Bulbs are the very cream of the stock grown by our specialists in Holland, and are guaranteed to be large, solid, healthy bulbs, which will be sure to bloom profusely for your next spring and fill your garden with a foretaste of the glory of the coming summer. The varieties here listed are the very best of all the long list produced in Holland, selected with scrupulous care with the desire to offer our friends the very best of their kind. Indoor Culture. Plant in pots or boxes, using or- dinary garden soil, any time from September to February. Plant about two inches deep. Water thoroughly and put away in a dark, cool place until signs of growth commence, then bring into the light and heat. For holiday blooming, pot early in Sep- tember, and for a succession of bloom, plant at in- tervals of about two weeks. To grow in water, place the bulbs in glasses and fill with clean water; leave them in a dark, cool place until the glass is well filled with roots, then bring to light. Open-Ground Culture. Select a warm, sunny loca- tion. Ordinary garden soil, enriched with well-rotted stable manure, spaded to a depth of 12 inches, will suffice. Plant the bulbs 5 inches deep and 6 or 7 inches apart. Set out any time from September until severe freezing weather. While not required, it is better to give winter protection—before the ground freezes, cover the beds with material such as leaves, straw, pine branches, etc., to a depth of four inches. Do not imcover too early in the spring. Single Blue and Purple Shades Price, 15 cts. each, $1.75 per doz., postpaid. Porcelain blue. Lilac center, blending into a darker Enchantress.
