MANAGEMENT OF HYACINTHS. 
not have too much. The water should always be slightly warmed 
when fresh is applied, and it is safer to keep the top of it a quarter 
of an inch from the base of the bulb, because, should it touch, 
and there be the least disease in the part, it increases the chances 
of its extending; fresh water should be given at least twice a 
week, and every care taken to preserve the plants from frost 
after they have begun to grow. If the water is hard a small 
lump of charcoal placed in the glass will assist it, or a grain of 
nitre may be added. Tulips and other small bulbs may be 
grown in the same way where it is desired, by fitting a cork to the 
orifice of the glass, having a hole cut through it to receive the 
bulb, and allow its roots to reach the water.
