No one would have expected that our old Mother Earth contained 
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.

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.

For Bedding—16 to 17 Centimeters. 
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.

The flowers are delightfully fragrant and each bulb will throw up 
from 3 to 7 spikes. For forcing, 4 bulbs are generally planted in a 
7-inch pan. Because of their early flowering and ease of growth, 
they are successfully grown in bowls with pebbles in the same man¬ 
ner as Paper-White Narcissi. Flowers may be had from December 
until March if plantings are made in succession. 
*White. $1.30 per 12; $9.77 per 100. 
Until this year the price of the White French Roman Hyacinth 
has been quite high. We are glad to be able to offer this attrac¬ 
tive early, indoor-flowering Hyacinth again at a very moderate 
price. Mammoth bulbs. 
Roman Hyacinths, as well as Paper-White Narcissi, are very easily 
grown in Wayside Gardens bulb forcing fiber.
