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 decom- 
posed 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 will 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 
rinsinu in clean water. Be particular 
to always keep the water to a level 
with the base of each bulb. 
For growing in the garden— 
Bulbs may be planted any time from 
September to December. They re- 
quire 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 be- 
comes frozen cover with straw or 
leaves to the depth of about three 
single hyacinth inches, removing the covering early double hyacinth 
in spring. 
If ordered by mail please add fifteen cents per dozen for postage.
