SQUARE BED OF HYACINTHS. GONSIDERING their matchless beauty, rare sweetness, ease of culture and hardinesB, it is not surprising that the Hyacinth is the most popular bulb grown. For convenience of those who do not quite understand arranging beds, we have made a selection of sets at prices much below the regular rates, to encourage more extensive planting this autumn. The beds we have arranged are all of Named Hyacinths. We can substitute, when desired, cheaper sets of Unnamed Hyacinths (colors kept separate) in their place, but we strongly advise the named sets, as the bulbs are,larger, will give better spites of flowers, and each color being of only one shade the effect will be much more beautiful.
