<1U£cweUf HYACINTH jflowe^ in Afi>Ul 
T^ELICIOUSLY scented, delicately beautiful in every 
detail, quietly refined and formal in shape and color, 
the graceful, dignified Hyacinth has a winning allure to 
those who are attracted to the elegance of simplicity. 
To such people, spring would not be spring without 
their beauty spots of Hyacinths. It is significant that 
children love them, and that millions of Hyacinths find 
themselves on the altars of churches. 
Everybody knows, of course, that in the garden Hya' 
cinths are as easy to grow as weeds but do not know that 
they are just as easy to have blooming in the house dur^ 
ing the winter. You may pot them in soil if you prefer 
that method or grow them in special Hyacinth glasses, us¬ 
ing nothing but water. Indeed, even Hyacinth glasses are 
not necessary. We have seen thousands setting in the top 
of empty wide-mouthed pickle or olive bottles all bloom¬ 
ing perfectly. All that is necessary is to have a container 
which will keep the bottom of the bulb wet for a quarter 
of an inch or so and to replace the water as it evaporates. 
The bulbs offered on this page are the largest size and 
finest bulbs it is possible to produce. 
For best ejects allow four bulbs for each square foot to be planted.
