HYACINTHS 



Bloom in Early Spring 



Delicious fragrance and fine coloring make Hyacinths delightful both as winter pot plants and as 

 early outdoor flowers in spring. They are among the easiest bulb flowers to grow in the house, and when 

 properly planted and cared for outdoors they are as hardy as Tulips and Daffodils. 



House Culture 



Plant from September to December in well-drained pots of light, rich, sandy soil. Place each bulb so 

 that the top is just below the surface. Have the soil fine and loose so that the bulbs will not push out when 

 the roots begin to grow. Water thoroughly, and set the pots in a cool dark place for several weeks until 

 a strong root growth has formed. Water occasionally if the soil dries out. Bring the pots into the light 

 gradually after top growth begins, keep at a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees, and water often. Hyacinths 

 can also be grown successfully in glasses. Large size bulbs are best for house culture. 



Outdoor Culture 



Plant bulbs any time from October until the ground freezes. In light soil, set bulbs four or five inches 

 deep; in heavy soil, not more than two or three inches. An inch or two of sand beneath each bulb will take 

 care of excess moisture. Always cover hyacinth beds 

 with straw or leaves before freezing weather. In 

 severe climates mulching to a depth of three or four 

 inches is necessary.
