Barr’S Improved Fertilised Fibre, Shell, and Charcoal Mixture for 
growing Bulbs in Bowls, Jardinets, Glasses, etc. Specially recommended for Hyacinths grown in 
glasses : fill the glasses with the preparation, and add water till no more can be absorbed. Place the 
bulb so as to rest the base on the preparation, and tie it down with brown paper, 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 remarks apply to bulbs 
grown in bowls, etc. : they must be kept in place till they have rooted. Our Fibre Mixture is sent
