The .scented lady of the spring garden 4
Everythingpauses for a
moment when the 'hyacinth
makes its appearance in the
Spring garden. ' As each
individual bell -like floret unfolds
onlhe majestic spike, the garden
receives a touch of gran deur as
the scented lady of Spring steals
attention: Rich and jewel -toned
colors coupled with ,,an
enchanting fragrance -- this is
the hyacinth, the scented lady of
the Springy garde».
The hyacinth which reigns in”
our Spring gardens of today has
had a long and notable history.
In ancient times, the parent of
the present day garden or Dutch
hyacinth, grew as a wilding in a
number of areas in the Eastern
Mediterranean. • In 1570 it was
imported into Holland where it
has been grown and improved
upon ever since.
From the 50 odd varieties
offered for sale in the early part
of the 18th Century, the number
rose to almost 2,000 in a short
period of time. The hyacinth
soon became the flower' of
fashion. Madame de Pompadour
championed the hyacinth in the
French court. As a result, many
French names are found among
the varieties even today.. After
the French revolution and
Napoleonic wars, the public
took the hyacinth to its heart —
and gardens, where it still reigns
as a favorite of Spring.
- 'Through the efforts • of
Holland's expert hybridizers, the
garb of our scented lady now
takes on maty •hues. In addition
to the traditional blues,
hyacinths now come in bright
red to soft pink; from lavender
to sky blue; from yellow to,
yellow -white; even to shades of
orange. When selecting hyacinths
for your Springgarden,
remember to include some of
these bright accent colors along
. with the pastels.
Hyacinths are members of the
lily family and have dainty, yet
dignified and stately flowers.
The dense spikes of delicate
bell -like florets, strongly
supp& erOn sturdy sterns, will
find a happy and harmonious
planting situation in any garden '
whether it . be large or small.
They can be used to create
symmetrical designs that, fit into
a formal garden, and, they are
equally at home when planted in
small groups of five' or six in the

modern garden setting.
An informal cluster of six or
eight hyacinths of the same
variety is ideal tri front of
evergreens around the house. At
the doorstep they talSe on even
more enchantment - as the
fragrance becomes an integral.
part of living. In the foreground
of the perennial border, along a
path or in small groups among.
rocks are other places to use this
versatile Spring flower.
Larger, gently curving drifts
are delightful in front of a stone
wall, picket fence or hedge. TO
a larger planting, too, at the base
of a shrub border or along the
entrance path or driveway.
Wherever the scented lady is
used, always try to keep her
close to the path, walk, doorstep
or entrance where her magical°
perfume can be enjoyed to its
fullest.
Hyacinths are fine for
planting with other flowers,
especially the , early -blooming
bulb flowers . such as Species
tulips, miniature daffodils and
minor bulbs like grape hyacinths
(Muscari); scilla and crocus. For
a most striking. floral effect,
group hyacinths together with
the low -growing Species tulips
which have large, brilliant
blossoms.
Choose red, blue or purple
hyacinth varieties to contrast -
with clumps of yellow or
cream -colored daffodils. White,
•or pale blue hyacinths blend
beautifully with the pinks and
reds of azaleas. Consider
planting them, too, beneath
flowering crabapple or cherry
trees or at the base and between
flowering shrubs.
In borders and along garden
paths; hyacinths are excellent
planted with pansies, violas and
forget-me-nots, Select two or at
most three color tones and
choose companion plants from
those you like best. Contrast
purple and blue hyacinths with
yellows; harmonize pastel shades
with whites; or, combine varying
kinks and- rose with whites.
Always remember, the simpler
the grouping, the more effective
it will be.
Hyacinths are exceptionally
easy to grow. -Plant them . in
September or October in
well -drained soil, six inches deep
and six inches apart. Apply a
two-inch layer of mulch (such as
leaves or evergreen boughs) to
protect the bulbs from freezing
during the winter, . Then relax
and wait until the' scented lady
makes her grand appearance in
the Spring garden.
Bedding size bulbs are best for
outdoor use. They produce fine
flowers with spikes that will not
topple in the wind. For indoor
forcing, buy the exhibition or
top -size hyacinth bulbs which
give'gantic flowers.
sure to include bulbs of
the scented lady • in your
plantings this Fall• so that you

color when "blooming next
