No spring garden can be considered complete without a planting of wonderfully fragrant Hyacinths. For beds, bor- 
ders, or irregular groups they add rich striking color. One of the earliest flowers to grow in pots or bowls and a display 
of Hyacinths in the house during the winter provides a wonderful decoration. We offer only the best varieties in a 
complete range of colors.

for bedding. Extra fine truss with large bells.

Outdoor Culture: Plant in Oct. and Novy., 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 danger from hard frost is past.

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
