Ctk^ular 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. 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 in- 

 dividual 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 Petu- 

 nias, Verbenas, Portulaca, etc., which will keep the beds bright 

 throughout the summer and in no way hurt the bulbs. 



The sizes of these beds are 6 feet in diameter ; plant out- 

 side rows 3 inches from edge of bed ; each bed requires 108 

 bulbs, planted 6 inches apart each way.
