Hyacinths are 



Delicious fragrance and fine coloring make 

 Hyacinths delightful both as winter pot plants 

 and as early outdoor flowers in s]->ring. They are 

 among the easiest bulb flowers to grow in the 

 house, and when ])roperly j^lanted 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 jwts 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 liegins. keep at a temperature of GO to 70 

 (iegrees. and water often. Hyacinths can also be 

 grown suc(^essfully in glasses. Large size bulbs are 

 best for house culture. 



Garden 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 neces.sary.
