The Lovely Hyacinth 
(FLOWERS IN APRIL) 
T^ELICIOUSLY scented, delicately beautiful in every 
detail, quietly refined and formal in shape and 
color. The graceful, dignified Hyacinth has a winning 
allure to those who are attracted to the elegance of 
simplicity. 
To such people, spring would not be spring without 
their beauty spots of Hyacinths. It is significant that 
children love them, and that millions of Hyacinths find 
themselves on the altars of churches. 
Everybody knows, of course, that in the garden Hya- 
cinths are as easy to grow as weeds but do you know

that they are just as easy to have blooming in the house 
during the winter? You may pot them in soil if you 
prefer that method or grow them in special Hyacinth 
glasses, using nothing but water. Indeed, even Hya' 
cinth glasses are not necessary. We have seen thou¬ 
sands setting on the top of empty wide-mouthed pickle 
or olive bottles all blooming perfectly. All that is neces' 
sary is to have a container which will keep the bottom 
of the bulb wet for a quarter of an inch or so and to 
replace the water as it evaporates. 
For best effects allow four bulbs for each square foot to 
be planted.

spike on which are clustered
