_HYACINTHS _ 
HYACINTHS, the most sweetly-scented of bulbous flowers, give a beautiful 
and long-lasting display of colors in early spring. Plant six inches 
deep in rockery, beds or borders. A wise precaution is to throw some 
covering over the bulbs once the ground is frozen. This will tend to 
prevent too early growth due to unusual warm weather in January and Feb- 
ruary. ‘The cause of many failures with Hyacinths during the 1949-50 
winter was because of shallow planting and no protection against thawing. 
HYACINTHS are also excellent for blooming indoors after they have been 
buried in the garden, or kept slightly mois in a cold cellar for 10 weeks.
