COLLECTIONS OF HYACINTHS FOR BEDS. 
FE bulbs can be used for bedding with such good effect as Hyacinths, and every spring they form one of the features of the 
principal public parks, and, considering the little trouble necessary for their care and the low cost of planting a good-sized 
bed, it is a matter of comment that larger plantings are not seen in private gardens. While mixed Hyacinths in the separate 
colors offered on page 6 are well adapted for bedding purposes, yet where a special design is wanted in which the colors must be 
sharp and distinct we advise using the named varieties, Not only do you then get the requisite colors, but at the same time much 
finer individual spikes of flowers, which well repays for the slight increase in cost. 
Cultural directions will be found on page 3. We might add that Hyacinth bulbs in some soils do well for a number of years 
without lifting or replanting. When through flowering, the beds may be sown or planted with shallow-rooting plants, such as 
Petunias, Verbenas, Portulaca, etc., which will keep the beds bright throughout the summer and in no way hurt the bulbs. 
The size of these beds are 6 feet in diameter ; plunt outside rows 3 inches from edge of bed; each bed requires 108 
bulbs, planted 6 inches apart each way. 
Price. Bulbs for any of the following beds in Select Second Size for $5.50; in Extra Selected First Size for $7.00.
