For several years Hardie’s has ccncentrated on handling top size bulbs only. We find 
that the large size bulbs, particularly for outside planting, grow better and bloom better. 
In this section of the United States you can start planting them in January, covering five 
inches, and then continuing at two-week intervals right on through May, covering a little 
less as the ground grows warmer. 
BEACON. One of the very tallest, and most 
brilliant in color. This variety is well named. 
Eight florets open at once on a very long spike. 
Bright scarlet with creamy throat. Striking 
either as an individual bloom, or in a group. 
Mid-season.
