HYACINTHS from Holland 
For the first time in five years we are again 
able to offer Dutch Hyacinths, the most versa- 
tile and colorful of bulbs. Hyacinths in the 
spring garden give a gay range of color impos- 
sible to obtain so early in the spring in any other 
way. Properly used there are few flowers that 
will give more satisfaction. 
During the winter months Hyacinths may be 
grown indoors with ridiculous ease, requiring 
only a little light, warmth and some support 
such as bulb fibre, pebbles and water or soil in 
pots. 
Culture: Set bulbs early in the fall in beds 
of well prepared rich soil. To get all the bulbs 
to flower at the same time, that is all of each 
variety, they should all be placed at the same 
depth. Hyacinths should be covered with 6 to 8 
inches of soil, deeper in the milder climates and 
spaced from 6 to 8 inches apart. Beds of one 
variety or with patterns worked in them with 
other colors are extremely effective.
