HYACINTHS 
Hyacinths offer the finest possible combination of scent and color. Early 
springtime blooming brings out the most beautiful tones of colors while other 
flowers are still dormant. Hyacinths should be planted any time from October 
lst to December Ist, in light, rich, well drained soil. Plant bulbs 5 inches deep 
and about 6 to 8 inches apart, and mulch where ground freezes hard.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES 
If you have had trouble growing Tulips successfully, try planting on 
the north or east side of the house. A little shade seems to be a big 
help. In order to avoid warm weather after setting out the bulbs, we 
recommend planting in November or early December. Soak the ground 
thoroughly in dry weather. Follow the same instructions for Hyacinths 
and Narcissus, except the latter should be planted in October or early 
November. 
TULIPS 
Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in soil; planting may be done from October until 
early December. Recommended to protect them from severe cold with about 
2 inches of peat moss, decayed manure, or even old leaves and grass.
