SPECIAL NAMED VARIETIES IN DISTINCT SHADES OF COLOR, TO FLOWER AT THE SAME TIME 
BVLBS 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 patrons will 
know that we have avoided using 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. 
Hyacinths, as well as narcissi, should be planted by November first 
in this latitude, as they are the better for early planting. Tulips may 
be planted up to December first, weather permitting.
