BARR’S PREPARED CHARCOAL & COCOA FIBRE, for growing Bulbs in Jardinet3, Glasses, &c. Fill the 
Hyacinth glasses with the preparation, arid then add water till no more can be absorbed. In the glass, 
place the bulb so as to rest the base on the preparation, then tie it down with brown paper as you would a 
jam-pot, leaving an opening in the centre of the paper for the shoot. When the bulb has well rooted the 
paper may be removed ; care must be taken that the material in the glass is kept wet. The same remark 
applies to bulbs grown in vases ; they must be kept in place till they have rooted, 3s. 6d. per bush. ; 
is. per peck.
