Dutch Hyacinths 
Ready for shipment in September 
Pot Culture—For winter blooming in the 
house use rich sandy loam, planting one bulb 
in a 5-inch pot or pan, water thoroughly and 
put away in a cool, dark place until well 
rooted, and bring into the light after an inch 
or more of top growth has been made. 
Grown in Fibre—Treat as recommended for 
pot culture. 
Grown in Glasses—Place the bulb in the 
glass so it just touches the water, and keep in 
the dark until the roots reach the bottom, and 
an inch or more of top growth made. Single 
varieties are best for water. 
Outdoor Culture—Plant in moderately rich 
soil, placing the bulbs 4 inches deep and 5 to 
6 inches apart, and cover with litter during 
winter,
