Collections of Hyacinths for Beds. 



Circular Bed of Hyacinths, "A" and " B." 

 CEW bulbs can be used for bedding with such good effect as Hyacinths, and every spring they form one of the features of the 

 1 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 set-n in private gardens. While mixed Hyacinths in the separate 

 colors (offered on page 3) 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 Extra Selected 1st size or the Select 2d size named varieties. Not only do you then 

 get the requisite colors, but at the same time much finer individual spikes of flower, which well repays for the slight increase in cost. 

 The size of the following beds are V^ feet in diameter^ atid are composed of the choice varieties shou<n in colors on the covers of this 

 catalogue. Plant outside ro-u 3 inches from edge of bed ; each bed requires 108 bulbs, planted ^ inches apart each 7i'ay.
