fresh. I use a clear glass bowl, about 

 ■eight inches around, and plant three large 

 bulbs. When old growth over top of 

 bulb is very dry and hard I turn bulb up- 

 side-down in water for a day or two, until 

 it is softened, and then the growth is 

 much more rapid. 



When through blooming I throw old 

 bulbs away and replace with fresh bulbs, 

 and thus have a succession of these sweet- 

 ly fragrant flowers during the whole 

 winter.

THE HYACINTH IN GLASSES. 



The hyacinth is much prettier and more 

 attractive grown in water than in soil, but 

 it requires a little more care to grow them 

 in glasses than in soil. The water must 

 be kept sweet and changed regularly; if 

 this is neglected the roots and bulbs are 

 sure to rot. I find a bit of charcoal in 

 water will help to keep it sweet, but the 

 Avater should be changed twice a week. 

 The tall, slim hyacinth glasses are the 

 most attractive and I prefer the uncolored 

 glasses, as it is as interesting to watch the 

 root growth, as it is that of the foliage 

 and flowers. 



It is necessary to place in dark at start, 

 for roots to form, and here one can see 

 when roots are well formed, and know 

 when to bring to light and sunshine. 

 "When buds are inclined to open low down 

 in bulb, a dark paper cone placed over 

 bulb will induce them to grow to the 

 usual length.

YOU MUST LOVE YOUR PLANTS. 



In order to succeed with plants one 

 must love them, use common sense and 

 good judgm.ent in their care. Have your 

 jars perfectly clean. Scald those that 

 have been used. Put charcoal in the 

 bottom, as this keeps the soil sw^eet. Put 

 a thin cloth or moss over charcoal, then 

 good soil. Take small slips in July or 

 August, firm the soil around them, water 



and set in shade until started, then bring 

 into the light gradually. Water from the 

 bottom. For soil I use earth from the 

 henyard, some coarse sand and woods 

 earth if I have it, if not a little phosphate. 

 Do not fill jars too full of earth. Put in 

 several kinds of geraniums, or begonias 

 in ajar, taking care to get a good combi- 

 nation of colors. This gives more variety 

 in less room.
