HYACINTH CULTURE— Continvied 



Glass Culture. — To grow in glasses, select dark colored glass, fill with water until 

 the base of each bulb rests on the water, and set away in the dark as directed for pot 

 culture. Fill up the glass with water as fast as it evaporates. If the water becomes 

 impure'it should be changed and the roots well cleansed before putting in again. A small 

 piece of charcoal put in the glass will keep the water pure much longer. After the roots 

 have attained a good growth the glass can be brought into the light and placed in a cool 

 room near a window. Give the plants plenty of light and as much fresh air as possible 

 without a direct draught. Keep the glasses sufficiently full of water. Do not keep them 

 in a close, warm room, nor about a fireplace. If removed out of the direct rays of the 

 sun when' in bloom, the flowers will last longer. 



SINGLE HYACINTHS 



FIRST-CLASS SELECTED BULBS 



m^Atl Single Hyacinths succeed well in glasses and when forced. 



We consider the Single Hyacinths more useful and valuable than the double 

 varieties. They are better for forcing, more vigorous in growth, and produce stronger 

 spikes of bloom, which are generally of better substance and are at least as beautiful as 

 those of the double sorts.
