Giant Hyacinths — 
The Finest for Beds, Borders ; ¥ 
and for Growing Indoors 
Among the many flowers that can be grown from fall 
planted bulbs, the hyacinth stands at the top of the list. 
It is probably the easiest flower to grow in pots or bowls, 
and what could be more decorative or attractive than a 
display of hyacinths in the house during the winter or 
early spring! Equally effective and beautiful are beds, 
borders or irregular groups here and there among peren- | 
nials, in combination with pansies, forget-me-nots, 
English daisies, arabis, aubrietia and hardy alyssum, or 
in the front of shrubbery. We offer the best varieties.

How to Grow Hyacinths 
Outdoors: Plant the mammoth bulbs 6 to 7 in. deep and 
8 in. apart; medium size bulbs, 6 in. deep and 6 in. apart. 
Indoors: One bulb is usually planted in a 5- or 6-inch 
pot, depending on the size of the bulb,- although several 
bulbs may be planted in a 6-inch or larger size pan. Use 
only the mammoth size bulbs for growing in water in the 
house. Full cultural directions are given on every bag 
containing the bulbs.
