Hyacinth bulb sizes

In the past, very large hyacinth bulbs were sold as "exhibition size"
confirming Jim McKenney's suggestion that they were used for forcing.
The smaller (though still larger than what we're offered today) were
sold as "landscape" size. There was, naturally enough, a disparity in
pricing with larger = more costly.

Judy in New Jersey where frosted pumpkins still lay about in some
fields, cannas became slimy blackened mess to cut back and bring under
cover. And in my greenhouse oxalis are flowering, lachenalia are
growing, and the seasonal cycle continues.
