HYACINTHS 



BLUE, YELLOW, PINK, RED, WHITE 



The most fragrant 

 of spring flowers is the 

 Hyacinth, and since 

 they produce their de- 

 lightful flowers as the 

 snow vanishes, they 

 give you your first de- 

 lightful breath of 

 springtime! Our bulbs 

 are big ones, and that 

 means big blooms. 

 Plant them in beds or 

 borders either in mixed 

 colors or in separate 

 colors —either effect 

 is stunning! Our Hy- 

 acinths are very re- 

 liable growers — vigor- 

 ous, beautiful, satisfy- 

 ing! Be sure to include 

 them in your plans for 

 next spring's flowers.
