Hyacinths are indispensable in the early spring garden because of 
their clear, desirable colors and their perfect faithfulness in blossom- 
ing. Although many are used for bedding where they make fine 
displays, their beauty is enhanced by planting them in clumps of 5 
to 10 with other flowers of contrasting forms of foliage and colors 
to add grace and lightness. Their delightful fragrance is not the least 
of their charms and is very enjoyable whether they are grown inside 
Or Out. 
Only the very finest top size bulbs of choice quality (19 cms. and 
over) produce the glorious spikes so desired when forcing Hyacinths 
in pots. However, for outdoor plantings the heavy spikes of top size 
bulbs are easily damaged by wind and rain, so we list a special 
bedding size (15 to 16 cms.) as well.
