 together in the pans, pots or boxes, or in beds in the open 

 ground, with charming effect. The bulbs we offer average 5

 outdoor planting.

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, 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 4 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 individual spikes of flowers, which well repays 

 for the slight increase in cost. 



The size of these beds are 6 feet in diameter ; each bed requires 114 bulbs, planted 6 inches apart each way.
