The relative time of flowering of Hyacinths outdoors. is indicated by the numerals in parenthesis immedi- 
ately following the name of the variety, (1) being the earliest. When varieties are selected for bedding together 
it is well to select varieties with two consecutive numbers, to assure uniform blooming date.
