. Dreer's autumn catalogue 1917. Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs. m NKTA DREER •J'tillADHPHIAJift-^BULBSFOR^bbPljANTING-i OF HYACINTHS FOR BBDS Few bulbs can be used for bedding with such good effect as Hyacinths, 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 comment that larger plantings are not seen in private gardens. While mixed Hyacinths in the separate colors offered on page 6 are well adapted for bedding purposes, yet where a special design is wanted in which the colors must be sharp and distinct we advise using the named varieties. Not only do you then get the requisite colors, but at the same time much finer individ- ual spikes of flowers, which well repays for the slight increase in cost. Cultural notes will be found on page 3. 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 she of these beds are 6 feet in diameter; each bed requires 114 bulbs, planted 6 inches apart each Circular ED OF Hyacinths "A".
