\Vg then carefully look over them, and any that are not sufficiently rooted 

 are replunged. Great care should be taken that they are not left in the tan 

 too long; if they remain there till the leaves begin to open, the flower is 

 very likely to be injured. Such as are well rooted we place in a cold 

 frame, taking care to protect them well from frost, but giving them plenty 

 of air every opportunity. 



" If we want any in flower early in the season we prepare a hot-bed, 

 taking great care to have the dung well worked previous to making up the 

 bed. When the bed is sufficiently sweetened we place a few in it every 

 Aveek, to keep up a succession from Christmas till March, when the others 

 will come on quite fast enough in the cold frames. 



" Although most Hyacinths will succeed very well without artificial heat, 

 many are greatly improved by it. Indeed, all that do not throw up their 

 blooms kindly in the cold frame will be benefited by applying dung heat. 



" The bulbs that are kept in the cold frame all the winter from the time 

 they were taken out of the tan are generally in finest bloom from the middle 

 of March till the second week in April. After that time they begin to fade. 



"The following list includes CO of the very best; and to have a grand 

 display, and all the different shades of colors, no grower ought to have a 

 smaller selection.
