/flEMyA-IlREE^ BULBS NmLL PLANTING >H1LSM>HR1; Collections of Hyacinths for Beds Few bulbs can be used for bedding with such good effect as Hya- cinths, and every spring they form one of the features of the principal public parks, and, considering the little trouble necessary for their care and the low cost of planting a good sized bed, it is a matter of com- ment that larger plantings are not seen in private gardens. Cultural notes will be found on page 2. We might add that Hyacinth Bulbs in some soils will do well for a number of years without lifting or replanting. When through flowering, the beds may be sown or planted with shallow-rooted plants, such as Petunias, Verbenas, Por- tulaca, etc., which will keep the beds bright throughout the summer and in no way hurt the bulbs. The size of these beds are 6 feet in diameter; each bed requires 114 bulbs, planted 6 inches apart each way. "Tricolor" Bed of Hyacinths This is very effective red, white and blue combination.
