G(g acint/is for iSr/i/iifion cincl Garden 
. 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.

17-18 centimeters, $1.55 per 12; $11.00 per 100. 
The earliest of the Dutch Hyacinths. It is a new variety still 
little known, but we consider it the finest pink for early flower¬ 
ing and with care it may be had for Christmas. Does splendidly in 
Wayside Gardens Bulb Fiber. The large, clear rose-pink bells of 
perfect form are carried on a stiff stem. '

provement over King of the Blues. Late flowering, excellent for

be desired.

17-18 centimeters, $2.00 per 12; $16.00 per 100. 
A very fine novelty. The flower is large and perfectly formed. 
Color a clear soft pink. It is by far the best pink Hyacinth, both 
as to size and color. 
Special named varieties in distinct shades of color, to flower at the 
same time. Bulbs measure 6 to 7 inches in circumference. 
The Hyacinth chosen to represent each of the following shades of 
color is a variety which we have found from trials will be best in the 
three essential requirements: Best in its color; stoutest stem; largest 
truss of bells; so our customers will know that we are not using less 
expensive varieties that are of weak stem, and that do not support 
the blooms. 
Culture: These Hyacinths should be planted from 6 to 10 inches 
apart, and covered with at least 4 inches of soil from the top of the 
bulb. For beds or borders close to the conservatory or 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 frosts 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 plant¬ 
ing. Tulips may be planted up to December first, weather permitting.
