Amateur Bulb Notes 



LAST year, while bringing to the fight a number 

 of hyacinths kept in the cellar for six weeks, I 

 broke the pot of one. Rather than repot it, I 

 washed the dirt from the roots and finished growing 

 the bulb in a hyacinth glass. It bloomed two weeks 

 ahead of those in the soil, and produced two magni- 

 ficent flower spikes, better than those from bulbs 

 grown "all the way" in glasses. 



As hyacinth glasses I use pint milk bottles. They 

 are less liable to break than the regular glasses, and 

 their thick rims hold a bulb nicely. Covered with 

 dark paper, they shield the roots from the light 

 better than the green or yellow glass of the ordinary 

 hyacinth glass. Milk bottles also have the ad- 

 vantage of costing nothing, as nearly every city 

 dairy delivers milk in glass, and the bottles can be 

 returned, undamaged, after they have been used. 

 Some experts advise the use of paper collars, placed 

 around the growing leaves just before blooming 

 time, to "draw the spike," or lengthen it, but I 

 cannot see that it makes any difference with bulbs 

 left in the dark for several weeks. 



In planting bulbs singly in small pots, for winter 

 blooming, be sure to get at least two-thirds of the 

 bulb below the ground. In deep pots, where there 

 is plenty of room for the roots, this care is not 

 necessary, but I found that with 3-inch pots the 

 roots of daffodils and hyacinths would force the 

 bulbs out of the earth.
