Giant Flowered Hyacinths 
The Finest for Beds and Borders and for Crowing Indoors 
Among the many flowers that can be grown from fall-planted 
bulbs the Hyacinth stands at the top of the list. It is probably 
the easiest flower to grow in pots or bowls, and what could be 
more decorative or attractive than a display of Hyacinths 
in the house during the winter or early spring! Equally effec¬ 
tive and beautiful are beds, borders or groups of Hyacinths 
here and there among perennials or in front of shrubbery. 
The Hyacinth might be grown for its fragrance alone, but with 
its stately growth, showy flower-spikes, and wide color 
range, it is a flower that is certainly everybody’s favorite. 
From a long list of named Hyacinths we have selected those 
offered on account of their free-flowering qualities and distinct 
colors. Hyacinths are one of the easiest flowers to grow. 
Outdoors: Plant Mammoth bulbs 6 to 7 in. deep, 8 in. 
apart; Medium size bulbs, 6 in. deep, 6 in. apart. 
Indoors: One bulb is usually planted in a 5- or 6-inch pot, 
depending on the size of the bulb, although 4 bulbs may be 
planted in a 6-inch pan or 6 in a 7-inch pan. Use only the 
Mammoth size bulbs for growing in water in the house. 
French Roman Hyacinths should not be planted outdoors 
in cold sections; they are easily and quickly grown in pots 
in the house. 
For full cultural directions of all fall bulbs, ask for Burpee 
Leaflet No. 31, “Bulbs for Winter and Spring Blooming.”
