for 



Beds. 



" Square " Bed of Hyacinths. 



CONSIDERING their matchless beauty, rare sweetness, ease of culture and hardiness, it is not surprising that the Hyacinth is the most popular bulb 

 grown. For convenience of these who do not quite understand arranging beds, we have made a selection of sets at prices much below the regular 

 rates, to encourage more extensive planting this autumn. The beds we have arranged are all of Named Hyacinths. We can substitute, when 

 desired, cheaper sets of Un-named Hyacinths, (colors kept separate) in their place, but we strongly advise the named sets, as the bulbs are 

 larger, will give better spikes of flowers and each color being of only one shade, the effect will be much more beautiful. Plant the bulbs 6 inches apart. 



A diagram for planting- will be sent with each bed.
