SUPERB HYACINTHS 
G ROWING Hyacinths is a very simple matter indeed, and a great deal of pleasure may be derived from watching the development of 
the bright, cheery, sweetly-scented flowers during winter days. No other bulb flower is easier to grow indoors. 
INDOOR CULTURE 
For planting in soil use any kind of a pot that has drainage. Ordi¬ 
nary clay pots are preferable and ordinary soil with a little sand mixed 
into it makes it more porous. Place a broken piece of crock over the 
hole in the bottom so as to insure free drainage. Fill in enough soil 
so that when placing the bulb the top will be about an inch below the 
level of the top of the pot fill in soil and cover bulb firmly, leaving 
plenty of space below rim for watering. Use 4 to 5 inch pots for the 
larger bulbs when planting them singly. A number of smaller bulbs 
planted in wider shallow pots is very satisfactory. After potting, 
water thoroughly and place in a cool, dark place and leave until a 
number of roots show on outside of soil when it is tipped out of pot. 
When several roots show through, it is then safe to bring them into 
the light where they are to grow. 
Hyacinths may also be grown in glasses or bowls of water. The 
bulb should be placed so that the bottom just touches the water, and 
enough water added occasionally to keep it at the proper 
level. Hyacinths grown in water should also be kept 
cool and dark until plenty of roots have developed. 
When bringing them into the light where they are to 
grow, better results will be obtained by growing them 
cool. A window sill or sunroom is best. 
OUTDOOR CULTURE 
Plant Hyacinths so that top of bulb is about five inches 
under the surface, water thoroughly, and cover with 
leaves or coarse straw before severe cold weather sets in. 
Covering for Hyacinths should be quite heavy. Remove 
covering as early as snow and ice will permit, but if al¬ 
ready sprouted it is well to replace a little of the cover¬ 
ing to keep the direct rays of the sun away, this is to 
prevent harm from the sudden changes in weather.
