Hyacinths look well in the flower garden during the spring, and last for years often, if well manured and cultivated. The species, H. orivn- talis, is the parent of the innumerable and brilliant varieties so largely imported fi(ira Holland to meet the demand for it in this country. Holland, we may say, fnrnishes bulbs for the world, whether tiilips, crocuses, or hjacinths, or for that matter lilies too. There are special selections of unnamed sorts of hyacinths in different shades of blue, white, red, and yellow, made by nurserymen and seedsmen, and they may be procured in mix- ture or in separate colors, the mixed i-oots being less expen- sive. The different colors of hyacinths do not all bloom at one time, and for massing in mixtures, it is necessary to plant the bulbs at different depths, in order to have the display as nearly as possible simul- taneous in all its variety. Blue generally comes first, and next in order, red, white, and yellow. Blues should therefore be planted deepest, say seven or eight inches, and the others propor- tionately shallower in their Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Parsons, Samuel, 1844-1923.
