Bed of Hyacinths 



COLLECTIONS OF HYACINTHS FOR BEDS. 



FEW 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. Wliile 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 will do well for a number of years 

 without lifting or replanting. When through flowering, the l)eds 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 tluse beds are 6 feet in diameter; plant outside rowsS inches from edge of bed; each bed requires 108 

 bulbs, planted 6 inches apart each way.
