Dutch Hyacinths 



Hovvr to Grow Them 



Single Dutch Hyacinth 



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

 or plant three in a 6 incft pot; a light, licii, 

 sandy soil is best. The upper surface of the 

 bulb should show above the soil. After pot- 

 ting, water thoroughly and place in a dark, 

 cool cellar, covered up with sand or ashes 

 until well rooted; this generally takes 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. A Hyacinth 

 Glass, such as shown on page 2, should be used. 



Outdoor Culture — Plant in October or early No- 

 vember, about 6 inches apart and 5 inches 

 deep. Cover the bed with straw, leaves or 

 short manure during the winter.
