HYACINTHS ‘ar itcun 
Extra Hardy —Easy to Grow — Fragrant 
Like Daffodils, Hyacinths are very hardy and easy to grow, re- 
quiring very little attention. In fact, they are very good planted 
with Daffodils. But unlike Daffodils, they usually are planted 
more formally—in rows or beds—although they may be handled 
informally. They usually get abouc 12” high, and are especially 
good as a front for tulips, or may be combined with the lower- 
growing flowers such as Grape Hyacinth or Pansies. Hyacinths 
like a rich, well-drained soil and are best planted about 6” deep 
and 6 to 9” apart. 
bulbs labeled of each of the 6 
colors illustrated to the right so 
that you can have a full-scale 
color arrangement.

B6504—CITY OF HAARLEM. (See 5) The best yellow

B6520—LA VICTOIRE (See G) A brilliant carmine-rose 
that blooms very early. Has large, well-filled spikes. 
A very showy variety ideal for adding bright color to 
your garden. 
Hyacinths also are a favorite for indoor forcing. Special glasses 
are made for this purpose, but a glass or jar will do. Just place 
the bulb on the top rim of the glass or jar and fill the jar with 
water until it touches the root base. Keep in a cool, dark place, 
adding water (but not changing it) as necessary. When the bulb 
gets about 4 inches of top growth (this usually takes about 8 
weeks) place in a north window and they will bloom beautifully. 
This forcing should be started in mid-winter—December, Janu- 
ary or early February.

If you want to be sure of blooms, and 
want a showing as good as any profes- 
sional’s, plant Daffodils. They are sure 
to grow in spite of adversity, never giv- 
ing any trouble, and each spring they 
produce healthy, gay and colorful blooms. 
You can depend upon them. 
Do not try to achieve formal effects. 
Don’t put them in straight rows or 
squared beds. They look best along the 
edge of the shrubbery, or strewn across 
the lawn. Lots of people plant Daffo- 
dils by taking the bulbs in handfuls and 
scattering them rathér carelessly across 
the lawn or a grassy slope. Then plant 
the bulbs 5 inches deep wherever they 
fall. They come up then as a natural 
part of the landscape. 
To keep blooming year after year, dig 
up about every third year separate and 
plant again. Do this in July or early 
August. 
IMPORTED FROM HOLLAND 
We chose the following Daffodils be- 
cause they are some of the best for a
