Supreme Hyacinths for 
Exhibition 
No one would have expected that our old Mother Earth con¬ 
tained such entrancing fragrance had not Hyacinths, by some 
miracle of alchemy, revealed it to us. 
Here, too, we have it combined with the widest possible range 
of color, and even with flowers of the truest blue—in every shade 
—the very rarest combination. 
They open to greet us before the new spring dawns, if we but 
give them a share of our garden, and pour out their incense as if 
in token of their gratitude and thanks for their deliverance from 
a long imprisonment. 
Of importance to us all is the greatly reduced price of Hya¬ 
cinths. We hope you will take advantage of the opportunity by 
planting them freely.

Hyacinths in Separate Colors 
For places where a mass of color is required and it is not 
necessary that a particular variety be used, we recommend the 
medium sized Hyacinth bulbs often called Bedding Hyacinths. 
They are splendid bulbs that will bloom magnificently. 
These Hyacinths should be planted from 6 to 8 inches apart. 
Where the beds are planted to be viewed from a distance, they 
may be planted 10 inches apart.
