HYACINTHS. 
Those marked thus (f) are the best and most suitable for culture in Pots, Glasses, 
and for Exhibition. 
Inunediately ^fter potting, which may ho done from September to December, place out of doors 
on a bed of ashes, and cover the pots with six inches of the same material, or cocoa fibre is prefeiable , 
there let the pots remain till fuU of roots, which avUI usually he about six or eight weeks. If very 
early flowers are required, pot in September, and when sufhcieutly rooted, force gently, and give 
abundance of water ; hut if large finely developed trusses and rich oolom-s are preferred to very early 
flowers, the Hyacinth must not be forced, but when removed indoors, should be placed on the shelf of 
a greenhouse, or in a cold frame, close to the glass, always in the most genial and sunniest situation 
at command, and the plants allowed to develope their flowers gradually and naturally , giving water 
regularly and freely ; as it is weU known to ciUtivators tliat faUures, for the most part, arise from 
allowing the soil to become dry, when the rootlets are in. consequence injured. Abundance of air is 
necessary, but a di-y atmosphere and a di’aughty situation should be sedidously avoided. 
If the Hyacinth is cultivated in glasses, the base of the bulb should just touch the water, and a 
little charcoal should he placed in the glass to keep the water sweet. The glasses, if possible, should 
be kept in a room without a fii-e, or better still in a gi-eenhouse, and always in the sunniest and 
lightest situation at command till the flower spike is developed.
