GROUPS OF HYACINTHS FOR DESIGN BEDDING 



To obviate the disappointment resulting from selecting unsuitable varieties for design beds, we give the 

 following groups of some of the sorts that bloom about the same time and grow to the same height. They will 

 all form most ef?ective combinations. We recommend named sorts for designed bedding as decidedly better 

 than mixtures.
