BEDDING HYACINTHS 
Special quality, bound to produce a wonderful garden display during the whole of April. 
The bulbs are extra strong and possess all the qualities to enable them to withstand even 
the roughest weather conditions. An excellent effect is achieved when each bed is planted 
in a single color. Only one variety is supplied for each color, thus you wilt have uniformity 
in growing habits, height and flowering periods. Cultivation I See foot of this Page.

GENERAL HINTS FOR THE CULTURE OF HYACINTHS 
All Hyacinths, no matter their purpose, should be unpacked immediately upon receipt, and 
if not planted at once, kept in a cool place. Cultivation in glasaoai The water should 
be as near to the base of the bulb as possible but not touching it. Place them in the dark, 
in a cool yet dr)' spot, and add water from time to time. Leave them until they show u bud 
of approx. 4 inches when they can be placed in the light, protecting the bud by covering 
with a cone shaped bag. When the bud is sufficiently green, remove the puper cover and 
pluce in the full light in a moderate temperature. Cultivation Indoors ■ Plant them as 
closely together as possible with the noses showing a little above the surface. Place 
pots, cases or baskets in the dark, in a cool yet dry spot, and keep them in a moderately 
moist condition until they show buds of about 3 inches, when they can be placed in the 
full light again. Cultivation in tho garden i Plant them 3 indies deep and 4 inches 
apart. Cover them during the winter with peat or fir branches. Dig the soil before planting; 
manure is advisable hut abstain from using strong artificial manure. Avoid planting in 
shallow places which hold water during the winter.
