Hyacinths 
With their wondrous beauty and delightful fragrance 
Hyacinths are one of the glories of spring. They are 
seen at their best in borders or formal beds, and one of 
the most effective methods of culture is to arrange them 
in color schemes. They are also very charming when 
growing in pots or glasses. 
CULTURE. In climates similar to Southern Cali- 
foniia it is necessary to plant Hyacinths to a greater 
depth than they are planted in more severe climates. 
The reason for this is to retard the top growth, thus 
giving the bulb an opportunity to make a root system. 
In heavy soil it would be well to plant the tip of the 
bulb 6 to 6 inches beneath the surface, and in light soil 
6 to 7 inches beneath the surface. Set the bulbs about 
6 inches apart each way in the bed. About January Ist 
plant Nemophila seed on top of the bed and mulch with 
barnyard fertilizer or leaf mold. The Nemophila will 
provide a very attractive covering for the bed and will 
produce longer stemmed flowers of Hyacinths. October 
and November plantings of Hyacinths will give best 
results. 
For pot culture of^yacinths plant one bulb only to 
a 5-inch pot and bury pot and all in a shaded place in 
the garden, covering to a depth of 6 or 7 inches. In 
six weeks or two months they may be removed and 
brought to the light; however, leaving them longer 
might produce better results. Once they are brought to 
the light keep them near a window and give them plenty 
of fresh air and water.
