 with proper drainage. We advise against the use of fresh 

 manure. November and December are our most successiui 

 planting months. For outdoor planting, set bulbs 6 to 8 inches 

 apart each way. Cover with 4 inches of soil. Hyacinths are 

 also fine for growing indoors during the winter in pots or pans 

 or in special glasses filled with water.
