About a month after the bloom is passed, the foliage puts 
on a yellow decayed appearance; this is the proper season 
for taking them up; on doing which, you must cut off the 
stem and foliage within an inch of the Bulb, leaving the 
fibrous roots attached to it. After thus preparing them, they 
must be spread singly in an airy room fortwo or three weeks 
to dry; and then each root must be wrapped carefully in pa- 
per, Or put in dry sand until replanted. - 
Hyacinths, and other Bulhs, to bloom in frots or glasses. 
For this purpose, single Hyacinths, and such as are desig- 
nated as earliest among the double, are to be preferred.— 
Double and single Jonquils, Poleanthus Narcissus, and dou- 
ble Narcissus, also make a fine appearance during the win- 
ter season. | - | | 
Bulbs intended for blooming in pots during the winter sea- 
son, should be planted during the months of October and 
November, and be left exposed to the open air until it be- 
gins to freeze, and then be placed iu the Green-house, ora 
warm room. ‘They will need moderate occasional water- 
ings, and should be exposed as much as possible to the sun 
and light, to prevent the leaves from growing too long, or 
becoming yellow. | 
Those intended for glasses should be placed in them about 
the middle of November, the glasses being previously filled 
with pure water, so that the bottom ofthe Bulb may touch 
the water, then place them for the first ten days in a dark 
room, to promote the shooting of the roots, after which ex- 
pose them to the light and sun as much as possible; the wa- 
ter should be changed as often as it becomes impure, and 
care be taken not to suffer it to freeze.
