Collections of Hyacinths (or Beds 



Few bulbs can 6e 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. 



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 shaUow-rooted plants, such as Petunias, Verbenas, Portulaca, etc., 

 which win keep the beds bright throughout the summer and in no way 

 hurt the bulbs. 



The size of these beds are 6 feel in diameter; each bed requires 114 bulbs, 

 planted 6 inches apart each way.
