HYACINTHS 
"My, these hyacinths smell wonderful!" If we heard this remark once, we 
heard it a thousand times during the four days of the Oakland Flower Show, 
where we had in a corner of our exhibit 400 hyacinths in varieties massed 
together in one glorious color scheme. 
To the best of our knowledge, there is no bulb easier to grow than Hyacinthus 
Orientalis. Plant the bulbs in the border, in small groups, or mass them all on 
a slope. 
Select a location where they can be left, where during their dormant period, 
the summer months, they receive little or no water, and you will have frag¬ 
rance, beauty and pleasure for many years to come.
