dwelling, 6 inches will make a fine display; but where the beds 
are planted to be viewed from a distance, they may be planted 10 
inches apart. Hyacinths planted alternately with narcissi produce 
a most graceful effect, and for this combination 6 inches from 
bulb to bulb is also a very suitable distance. It is advisable to 
cover, after the bulbs have been planted, with leaves or some 
heavy material that will prevent them from freezing or being 
affected by early spring frost after they have started. 
Hyacinths, as well as narcissi, should be planted by November 
first in this latitude, as they are the better for early planting. 
Tulips may be planted up to December first, weather permitting. 
These are all extra selected top root bulbs and the best varieties 
for exhibition purposes and house culture. If by parcel post, add 
postage at zone rates. Weight 3 lbs. per dozen.
