some places they are so large as we 

 have seldom seen them. Formerly the 

 largest offsets were cultivated fron* 

 these bulbs, from which the bottom 

 was cut into three parts, but now, as 

 the growers develop the growth by 

 artificial heat, the offsets from the ex- 

 cavated bulbs are as large as the oth- 

 ers. 



The bulbs which are one, two and 

 three years old also developed well, 

 but the first-sized bulbs are generally 

 not so big as last year. The forcing 

 quality will be of very high grade, and 

 if you now cut a bulb in halves you 

 may see the flower buds much larger 

 than in other years at the same time. 

 Also the year 1910 was very favor- 

 able for the forcing purposes and in 

 consequence of that a good demand 

 and high prices may be expected, espe- 

 cially as the stock of named kinds is 

 also rather small. Some growers have 

 already sold all their first-sized bulbs 

 at better prices than they have got for 

 a long time. 



In the first place, the high prices 

 are the result of the rather small stock 

 of first-sized bulbs, but on the other 

 hand, the new Society of Hyacinth 

 Growers has much to do with it. The 

 members of this society have estab- 

 lished minimum prices for which mixed 

 hyacinths may be sold. They think, 

 if the mixed hyacinths are sold at 

 satisfactory prices, the named kinds 

 must rise in proportion, and this year 

 they have seen gratifying results from 

 their work. — Horticultural Advertiser.
