Dreer's autumn catalogue 1896 Dreer's autumn catalogue : 1896 bulbs, plants, seeds dreersautumncata1896henr Year: 1896 6 Dreer's Autumn Catalogue, 1896c Dreer'S Combinations of Hyacinths FOR BEDS. Circular Bed of Hyacinths. 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 privnte gardens. While mixed Hyacinths in the separate colors 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 individual spikes of flower which well repays for the slight increase in cost. Cultural directions will be found on page 4. We might add that Hyacinth bulbs in some soils do well for a number of years without lifting or replanting. After the tops die down, the beds may be sown or planted with shallow-rooting plants, such as Petunias, Verbenas, Portulaca, etc., etc., which will keep the beds bright throughout the summer and in no way hurt the bulbs. CIRCULAR BED OF HYACINTHS. (.SV<? illustration above.) This represents a bed 6 feet in diameter. Plant the bulbs 6 inches apart each way, beginning the outside line 6 inches from the edge of bed—requiring 90 bulbs. COMBINATION 'A. Price $4.50. 1st row (outside). 30 Gertrude.
