Dutch Hyacinths 



How to Grow Them 



Pot Culture — Use a 4 or 5 inch pot for each 

 bulb, a light rich, sandy soil is best. The 

 upper surface of the bulb should show above 

 the soil. After potting, water thoroughly and 

 place in a dark cool cellar, covered up with 

 sand or ashes until well rooted; this is gen- 

 erally from two to three months. 



Glass Culture — Fill the glass so that the base 

 of the bulb will just touch the water and 

 set away in a cool dark place until well 

 rooted. Change the water frequently. 



Out-Door Culture — Plant in October or early No- 

 vember about six inches apart and four 

 inches deep. Cover the bed with short ma- 

 nure during the -winter.
