Choice Bedding Hyacinths 
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, it is a matter of comment that larger plantings are not seen in 
private gardens. 
Cultural notes will be found on page 2. 
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 beds may be sown or planted with shallow-rooted plants, such as Petunias, Verbenas, 
Portulaca, etc., which will keep the beds bright throughout the summer and in no way hurt the bulbs.
