This bed was one of the greatest attractions in the Park during the Spring R Design for a Bed, 6 feet in Diameter of Hyacinths in five Colors. This is very effective, and should be planted as follows : 12 King of Blues, (Blue) in centre. 15 Alba Superbissima, (White) next to centre. 22 Gertrude, (Deep Pink) for third row. 27 Alba Superb, (White) for fourth row. 34 Robert Steiger, (Red) for fifth or outside row. no Bulbs in all. Price $ Another striking and satisfactory bed of Hyacinths is one of three colors, Red, White and Blue. This is a very appropriate way of displaying our beautiful National Colors, and the result is most gratifying. We suggest a bed about six feet in diameter (18 feet in circumference) which will require no bulbs (to be planted •six inches apart) as follows : 35 King of the Blues {centre of circle). 35 Alba Superbissima (White) {middle of circle). 40 Robert Steiger or Gen'l Pelissier (Red) (outside of circle). no Bulbs in all.
