HYACINTHS 



Ready for delivery in September 



The Hyacinth is so well and so favorably known 

 that it is unnecessary to give any detailed descrip- 

 tion of its broad upright spike or truss usually 

 thickly set with bell shaped flowers of beautiful 

 waxlike texture. It succeeds well in the house 

 and garden, adorning both with the varied colors 

 and delicious fragrance of its showy flowers. 



Pot Culture in the House— Plant from September to 

 December in rich, light, sandy soil. Place the bulb so that 

 its top will be just below the surface, care being taken not 

 to pack the soil as bulbs will be less likely to push out 

 when root growth commences if the soil is fine and loose. 

 Water thoroughly and set in a cool, dark place for several 

 weeks to allow of sufficient root growth. They should be 

 watered occasionally if "soil appears to be drying out. 

 During their growth they should be kept near the light at 

 a temperature of 50 to 70 degrees and watered frequently. 



Outdoor Culture in Beds or Borders— Bulbs may be 

 planted any time from October until the ground is frozen 

 solid. Plant six to ten inches apart, covering four to five 

 inches if soil is light, but not more than two or three inches 

 if soil is heavy. Before severe weather comes on it is 

 necessary to cover the beds with straw, leaves or manure 

 to prevent freezing, the depth of covering varying accord- 

 ing to climate.
