BEDS OF HYAQNTHS. 



In not a few cases hyacinths are plant- 

 ed so far apart as to show a consider- 

 able area of the surface of the beds when 

 they are in bloom, and when this hap- 

 pens the color effect is not altogether 

 satisfactory. There is some excuse for 

 thin planting, for, owing to the small 

 space occupied by one plant, a large num- 

 ber of bulbs is required for a bed of 



any considerable size. The variety 

 Priestley, a single pale blue variety pro- 

 ducing large spikes of bloom, when 

 closely planted has produced a fine ef- 

 fect in some public gardens this year. 

 The beds of hyacinths in which several 

 varieties have been planted are usually 

 attractive, for in almost every instance 

 a delightful harmony of color is pro- 

 duced. Ed^ecially good combinations are 



Alba superbissima, Gigantea and Ger- 

 trude, in equal proportions, and even 

 more so, perhaps, are the beds in which 

 the light blue and salmon pink varieties 

 are in association.
