Steve & chris, common sense would suggest the bigger the better re: bulbs, but w/ regards to hyacinths, is there a particular reason?

I would love to be able to visit Bill Welch. I plan to buy a mix from him this fall. I use the same sources as Steve and only for daffs as I'm too cheap to buy tulips as annuals and didn't know until recently that hyacinths may make it here in zone 9. The first ever hyacinths that I got as an experiment were from Bert b/c they were very reasonable and they were true to name.
