HENDERSONS' 

 "SPECIAL" HYACINTHS 



FOR BEDDING OR POT CULTURE WITHOUT 

 NAMES— CHEAPER THAN NAMED VARIETIES— FAR 

 BETTER THAN MIXED 



They are the same age as the first size Named Hyacinth 

 offered by us from which these are the second selection. They 

 are of great value for bedding in designs, enabling one to ob- 

 tain the exact color effect desired. In beds, borders, etc.. set 

 the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart and 4 inches deep measuring 

 from the top of the bulb. When freezing weather has set in 

 and a light crust has been frozen on the soil, then cover the 

 bed with leaves, straw, marsh hay or reeds to a depth of 

 from four to six inches; this protects not only from severe 

 freezing but from equally injurious unseasonable thaws. 

 They are much used for winter blooming in pots. Plant or 

 pot hyacinth bulbs between September and the last of No- 

 vember — the earlier the better — as it gives tham a longer 

 period to make roots before winter sets in and the flowers will 

 be better developed. 



Plant 1 bulb in a 5-m. pot, 3 bulbs in a 6 or 7-in. pot. 6 or 7 

 bulbs in an 8-in. pot or pan.
