Exhibition Hyacinths 
How still the bells and steeples stand, 
Till bluer than the sky, 
They leap upon their emerald feet, 
To see the Spring go by! 
A precious source of scent and color, display- 
ing an abundance of jubilant tones of rose, red, 
blue, yellow and orange, Hyacinths may be used 
to good advantage in our present day gardens. 
Blooming as early as they do, about the mid- 
dle of April, they are quite effective planted in- 
formally along the edge of beds and borders or 
amongst Daffodils. 
Your Rose garden which in April is no thing 
of beauty, can be turned into a prim pattern of 
white and blue, pink and white or yellow and 
blue; the stately heads of flower and the beauti- 
fully chiseled bells cannot escape the discriminat- 
ing eye. 
Plant about 3 inches deep and 8 inches apart, 
our largest motherbulbs are good for several 
years and should be left undisturbed.
