SECTION IV. 
TWINING HYACINTHS. 
These like well-drained rocky or gritty soil, in warm places. Truly 
striking- novelties. The slender stem begins to twine as soon as the tiny 
bulb shows, and develops until when the stem has twined about any sup- 
port handy until it is three or four feet above the ground, the delicate pink 
flowers are fully developed. Often the swaying of the support pulls the 
stem from the roots, but the flower will still remain bright for some time.
