The Best Way to Grow Bulbs Indoors 



PLANT HYACINTHS in sandy soil, or make the soil porous with leaf mould secured from the woods. Plant the bulb bottom 

 down, and push the bulb tight in the soil so that the top of the bulb is even with top soil. Use old four or five-inch pots — 

 never new pots if you can avoid it. There are shallow, wide pots made to hold three or more bulbs; they are satisfactory 

 to plant in where only one variety is planted in a pot. Never feed the bulbs with manure — the power to flower is in the 

 bulbs. A Hyacinth grown in water alone proves the truth of this. Give a good soaking after planting, and water once or twice 

 a week if necessary during the time the bulb makes roots. Put the pets after planting — which should be done during September 

 or October — in the ground, and cover the pot and all to the depth of three or four inches with soil. This is to prevent the roots 

 from lifting the bulbs out of the pot. Or you can put them in the cellar where it is cool and dark. The idea is to have the bulbs 

 kept cool and dark, so that the roots will start before the tops do. Cover up the ones outside with leaves or sawdust to the depth 

 of six inches, as frost, if it reaches them, almost always results in injury to the flowers. After four weeks or so examine the roots, 

 and see if they are down to the bottom of the pot; then bring the ones you want to flower early into a dark place where the tem- 

 perature is from fifty to seventy, but keep them dark by covering them up or placing them in a dark cupboard. They can be 

 left outdoors or in the cellar if you do not want them so early, until the sprout is as long as a man's finger. This brings them 

 in later, but is the surest way to get fine flowers, as it is more natural than to force them quickly. When the sprouts have reached 

 the length of a man's finger they may be exposed to the light. If brought to the light sooner the result will be that the top bells 

 will open first, and then the flower is spoiled, for the top bells will be faded before the lower bells open. The sprouts are yellow 

 by keeping covered, but that does not matter, as they turn green quickly when brought to the light. 



Tulips and Narcissus are treated the same as Hyacinths, except that when brought in from outdoors or the 

 cellar they can be placed In the full light at once. Instead of pots you can use grape baskets.
