* These are cheap varieties that may be planted in quantity. 



Hyacinths are beautiful bulbs, with a much greater 

 range of brilliant colours than the Daffodil, and with an 

 agreeable perfume, but it cannot be denied that they 

 are somewhat lumpy, and when planted in clumps they 

 have none of the lightsome grace of the Daffodil. They 

 are, of course, extensively bedded-out, especially by the 

 park-gardeners, for the sake of their brilliant colours. 

 Some mix Chalice - flowered Narcissi with them in 

 order to take off the stiffness. Duchess of Westminster 

 is a good Narcissus for the purpose, and Sir Watkin is 

 also used. The soil should be deep, friable, and moist. 

 The Hyacinths may be planted three inches deep, and 

 white Arabis planted between them in order to carpet 

 the soil. On the whole, Hyacinths do their best work
