For beauty and fragrance combined, hyacinths are unsurpassed among the spring flowering 
bulbs. They may be used very effectively for edgings, or in groups among other flowers. 
Plant the bulbs 6 to 7 inches deep and about 6 to 8 inches apart. 
In light well drained soil which is not subjected to winter freezing the bulbs may be left 
in the ground but the general rule is to lift them after the tops have died down about July. / 
Store them in shallow trays and dust with dusting sulphur. Planting time varies with the Order NO VV a 
climate conditions. In the mild winter section of California we recommend planting about 
November. Keep them moist by deep irrigation as often as is necessary.
