MIXED HYACINTHS 
for BEDS and BORDERS. 
The following list containi various shades of the oolours named. 
Distinct colours are much the best for bedding, but for filling odd places and for growing on 
borders the following are quite satisfactory. To give any effect they should not be planted in 
clumps of less than five or six. If left in the ground the bulbs will give a display the succeeding 
year, although the spikes will naturally be a good deal smaller.

OPEN GROUND CULTIVATION. 
Hyacinths succeed in any good well drained garden soil, but they like a liberal feeding, and 
good rich soil is always preferable if available. The soil should be forked up to a depth ol’ I s inches 
and a good quantity of well-decayed manure worked in. and if (lie ground is at all heavy a dressing 
of coarse sand will be beneficial. The bulbs should be planted in October, being piaeed about 
(i inches apart, and the crowns buried to a depth of not less than I inches. II the beds are in an 
exposed position, they should bo covered with bracken or spruce boughs, but otherwise nothing 
further will he needed, and a good display of bloom may confidently be expected.
