CULTIVATION OF HYACINTHS IN POTS. 
IB Long experience has taught us that the best possible mixture for growing Hyacinths in pots 
consists of about one-tliird each ol' good fibrous loam and well-decayed cow-dung, and the remainder 
of about equal parts of coarse gritty sand and leaf-mould. Mix at least a month before potting, 
keeping the mixture in a cool shed, or where it is not exposed. Five-inch pots are generally 
preferred. After potting select a cool, sheltered position out of doors, and place them on a layer of 
coal ashes, cocoa-nut fibre, tan, or any similar light material, covering the pots with the same to 
the depth ol' five or six inches, and placing over them a few boards or slates to keep off excessive rains. 
In about five weeks they will be found to be nicely rooted, and those required for earliest 
blooming may be removed to the cool frame preparatory to forcing, or be brought forward as 
required in succession for later blooming : all should, however, be removod before they push 
their way through, and be gradually introduced to light and air. keeping them in a cool shady 
position till the leaves have fairly acquired their proper greenness. It may be here .remarked, 
that a slow and steady development is at all times preferable for the production ol' really fine 
spikes of bloom. Although (lie Hyacinth forces well, it should never be subjected to heat before 
the bulbs are well rooted or the flower spike is liable to shrivel, and they should never be placed 
in a higher temperature than sixty-five or seventy degrees, from which they should be removed 
to a copier atmosphere as soon as the flower -spikes are formed above the surface.
