Important in any garden are these popular Dutch Hyacinths. 
Planted in formal beds or grouped in borders, they add rich 
striking color and delightful fragrance to the Early Spring 
Garden. 
Outdoor Culture: Plant in Oct. and Nov., in good, 
well-drained garden soil. Plant bulbs so that the top will be 
3 to 4 inches below the surface and 6 to 8 inches apart. After 
the ground has frozen cover with litter, leaves, or manure, to 
protect from frost; this should be removed in spring when dan- 
ger from hard frost is past. 
Pot Culture: Plant from September to November, using 
a 4- or 5-inch pot for single bulbs or several bulbs may be 
planted in a larger pot or bulb pan. After planting, water well 
and put in a cool, dark, airy place until well rooted, after which 
remove to a cool room and later to a warmer room.
