 red. 3 cts. each; 4 for 10 cts.; 25 cts. per

Hyacinths— How to Grow . Them 



HYACINTHS IX POTS— For indoor culture 

 bulbs may be planted in pots or boxes any time 

 from September to February. Good garden soil 

 enriched if possible by the addition of well- 

 rotted manure should be used. After planting, 

 a small portion of the bulb being exposed, water 

 thoroughly and put away in a dark cool situa- 

 tion until growth commences, then bring to the 

 light and heat. For holiday blooming bulbs 

 should be potted early in September, and for a 

 succession of bloom plant at intervals of about 

 two weeks. Hyacinths in glasses require much 

 the same treatment. Any time during the Fall 

 or early Winter place the bulbs in glasses filled 

 with clean water; leave them in a dark, cool 

 cellar until the glass is well filled with roots, 

 after which they should be transferred to the 



light and heat. Water should be renewed from 

 time to time by removing the bulbs and roots 

 entire, rinsing the glass thoroughly and refilling 

 with fresh water. 



HYACINTHS IN THE OPEN GROUND- For 



open ground culture select if possible a warm, 

 sunny location. Rich, light, loamy garden soil is 

 preferable, enriched with well-rotted stable 

 manure. Spade to a depth of 12 inches, and 

 mellow the soil thoroughly; plant the bulbs 

 about 5 inches deep and 6 to 7 inches apart. 

 Planting may be done any time from September 

 until severe freezing weather. The Hyacinth is 

 hardy and does not require Winter protection, 

 a light covering of manure or other litter being 

 all that is necessary.
