SUNSET SEED AND PLANT COMPANY 
1 
Choice Named Hyacinths 
FOR CULTURE IN POTS, GLASSES OR THE GARDEN 
CULTURE. For growing in pots. Plant from September to December, using a light loam mixed 
with leaf mould and well decomposed manure. Cover the bulbs so that the tops will just show, and after 
watering well, place in a cool, dark place out of doors, where they should remain until the pots are full of 
roots and the tops have sprouted about an inch, which w,ill be in about six or eight weeks. They may then 
be removed indoors to a sunny situation and plentifully supplied with water at the roots. 
For growing in glasses. Allow the water to just touch the base of the bulbs, and place them in a 
dark closet or cellar where the temperature is about 50°. Expose gradually to light and sun when the 
glasses are well filled with roots. Change the water as it becomes impure, drawing the roots entirely from 
the glass, and rinsing in clean water. Be particular to always keep the water to a level with the base of each 
bulb. 
For growinar in the garden. Bulbs may be planted any time from September to December. Thev 
require a light, rich soil and the crown of the bulb should be three to five inches below the surface ; set 
six inches apart. Where the ground becomes frozen cover with straw or leaves to the depth of about three 
inches, removing the covering early in spring. 
If ordered by mail please add fifteen cents per dozen for postage.
