Selected Bedding Hyacinths 



These are sound blooming bulbs, differing from the first-size bulbs 

 described on page 14 only in size. The flowers they bear are a little 

 smaller and the spikes more comDact, consequently more desirable for 

 exposed beds. Plant them 6 to 9 inches apart and cover at least 4 inches 

 deep in heavy soil, or a trifle deeper in light soil. Shortly before the 

 ground freezes cover the bed with leaves or manure to a depth of 3 inches. 

 This protection should not be removed too early in the soring. Beautiful 

 uniform beds may be made with the following named varieties: 

 Enchantress. Sky-blue. La Grandesse. Snowy white. 



Gertrude. Deep rose-pink. La Vietoire. Rosy red. 



Grand Maitre. Dark lavender- Lady Derby. Light rose-pink. 



blue. Perle Brillante. Lavender. 



King of the Blues. Dark blue. Queen of the Pinks. Rose-pink. 

 L'Innocence. Pure white. Yellow Hammer. Cream-yellow.

A square bed will take approximately the same number of bulbs. For an oval 

 bed, add length and breadth and divide by two; this will give diameter of circular 

 bed of same area. 



REMEMBER — -Grape Hyacinths, Snowdrops, and other small 

 miscellaneous bulbs listed on pages 20 and 21 are included in the 

 Narcissus Embargo. All are perfectly hardy and if left un- 

 disturbed will increase in size and beauty from year to year. They 

 are reasonably priced this fall but will be much higher next year.
