Dreer's Extra-Quality 



HYACINTHS 



Mammoth and Extra-Size Bulbs 



Hyacinths are perfectly hardy in the United States and Canada coming 

 into bloom outdoors at the same time as the midseason Tulips. The 

 bulbs must be planted in the fall to bloom the following spring. In the 

 garden place the base of the bulbs 5 to 6 inches below the soil level. 

 Besides their value for garden display they are exceedingly popular for 

 growing as winter-flowering plants in the house. For this purpose they 

 may be grown in pots, pans, or in water filled glasses.
