HYACINTHS

 BEDDING AND FORCING 



HENDERSON'S FIRST SIZE 



NAMED DUTCH HYACINTHS 



Especially recommended for Bedding. 



All varieties of Dutch Hyacinths thrive equally well in garden borders and 

 beds, but as some of the heavy trussed sorts are apt to bend to the ground unless 

 tied to small stakes, it is therefore advisable to select for bedding purposes 

 varieties of stocky growth having strong stems that will support the trusses 

 in an upright position. Then again for beds of varied color effect the different 

 varieties chosen for the purpose should all bloom at the same time. A bed or 

 mass of one variety is frequently as beautiful as a kaleidoscopic arrangement 

 of various colored sorts. The bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches apart 

 and not less than 4 inches deep — measuring from the top of the bulb. 



The figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 after the name of the Hyacinth indicate the relative 

 time of flowering — the I's flower together and are the earliest; No. 4 the latest.

HENDERSON'S SPECIAL HYACINTHS. 



FOR BEDDING AND FORCING. 

 TO COLOR WITHOUT NAMES. 



Henderson's Special Hyacinths (equally useful for bedding or forcing) are 

 larger sized bulbs than those put in ordinary mixtures. They are the same 

 age as the first size Named Hyacinth offered by us on pages 4 and 5, from 

 which these are the second selection. They will produce fine spikes of bloom, 

 and the different sorts as offered, being of one shade of color, render them of 

 value for bedding in designs, enabling one to obtain the exact color effect de- 

 sired, which is a great advantage over mixed reds, mixed blues, etc., at but a 

 slight advance in price, and on account of their low price are also extensively 

 forced for winter-blooming and cutting. 



Plant or pot hyacinth bulbs between September and the last of November — 

 the earlier the better — as it gives them a longer period to make roots before 

 winter sets in and the flowers in consequence will be better developed. 



In beds, borders, etc., set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart and 4 inches deep 

 from the top of the bulb. 



For winter flowering in the house Hyacinths may be grown in pots or pans of 

 soil — 1 bulb to a 5-in. pot, 3 bulbs in a 6 or 7-in. pot, 6 or 7 bulbs in an 8-in. pot 

 or pan. 



The nicest and most successful way however is to grow the bulbs in bowls of 

 " Henderson's Prepared Fibre " — See page 47.
