Grape Hyacinths (Muscari) 
This is one of the daintiest of the spring flowers. The inverted clusters of 
little flowers look somewhat like a miniature bunch of grapes, hence their name. 
They are closely akin to the true Hyacinth. The small rich blue or white flowers 
clustering on their six to eight-inch stems make a delightful show. Grape Hya¬ 
cinths are particularly adapted to growing in borders, about shrubbery,' along 
paths, streams, or scattered about the lawn. They multiply abundantly and per¬ 
sist indefinitely without any care. They seem to be suited to any soil or any 
conditions. Cover the bulbs about two inches and plant in clusters. For indoor 
winter bloom they should be handled like Crocuses. As with most forced bulbs, 
color may be less intense than the natural coloring when grown outdoors. A six- 
inch pot will hold about a dozen bulbs.
