HYACINTHS—Cont’d 
purpose of forcing. Hyacinths of the largest 
grade should be selected. 
For outside, bulbs of the bedding size will 
give ample satisfaction. They like a well pre¬ 
pared soil dug up 'deeply and provided with well 
rotted manure. It is advisable to plant the 
colors separately, as a bed of mixed bulbs 
seldom satisfies. Plant 4 or 5 inches deep and 
about 6 inches apart.
