THE FRAGRANT 
Hyacinths are a precious source of color and fragrance, 
their early vivid hues making lovely companions for the 
daffodils. 
This year we have such a nice collection that we are 
segregating them for you as to color, making it easier for 
you to select colors you want. The bulbs are large, plump, 
and ready to give a splendid account of themselves. We 
have a good stock of them, but have no means of knowing 
how long they will last. If you send your order in early, 
you won’t be disappointed. 
Hyacinths—AII varieties priced at 3 bulbs of one variety 
for 55c; 6 (one variety) for $1.00; 12 (one variety) for 
$2.00.

spring flowers for cutting or garden decoration. Being rae Tord Balen garden. Color entirely different 
orchid-like in their beauty of form and color, they are 
choice subjects for table arrangements and corsages. 
Millions are forced yearly for the early cut flower trade, 
and because of heavy demands, present stocks will not 
be sufficient to supply late customers. Order your bulbs 
early and thus be assured of prompt delivery at the proper 
planting time. Plant 5 inches deep and 6 to 8 inches 
apart in rich, light soil, having good winter drainage. 
In colder climates provide a mulch. They flower from 
early May into June, in our locality.
