HYACINTHS 
OUTDOOR CULTURE. The bulbs may be planted 
any time from October to December. They suc¬ 
ceed in any good well-drained garden soil. Set 
the bulbs so that the tops will be 6 or 7 inches 
below the surface and 6 to 10 inches apart. 
After the ground is frozen about 4 inches, be¬ 
fore very severe weather comes on, cover the 
beds with about 2 inches of peat. 
FOR WINTER FLOWERING IN THE HOUSE. 
One bulb to a 5 inch pot or four to 5 bulbs of 
one variety in an 8 inch bulb pan will prove 
very effective. Between September and the end 
of Novmber plant the bulbs in potting soil or 
prpared fiber so that the tops will just show 
above the surface. After planting, the bulbs 
should be placed in a dark, cool, airy place 
for a period of eight weeks. This develops the 
roots. Keep moist but not sodden. After about 
eight weeks have elapsed and bulbs have made 
some top .growth, the pots may be removed to 
the house. Keep away from cold window 
draughts and drying furnace heat. By taking 
the pots at intervals of ten days, a succession 
of bloom may be enjoyed throughout the winter. 
CULTURE IN GLASES. It is essential that the 
glasses be stood in a cool dark place for about 
six weeks, to encourage a strong root growth, 
and only when the glasses are nearly full of 
roots and an inch of top growth begun shouold 
they be brought into rooms and exposed to sun¬ 
shine. The water in the glass should always be 
maintained at the level of the base of the bulbs 
and add charcoal to keep it fresh.

DAFFODILS - NARCISSUS 
Daffodils thrive in any good garden soil, pre- 
ferably deep, well-drained loam. Deep preparation 
of the soil is necessary, and old rotted manure or 
compost may be worked in 16 or 18 inches below 
the surface, so as not to come in direct contact 
with the bulbs. Fresh manure should never be 
used. Plant in the early fall, especially Poeticus 
types. The more vigorous, larger varieties may 
be planted as late as December, but early plant¬ 
ing is best. Planted in clusters in the foreground 
of shrubbery, or sown broadcast through wood¬ 
lands, along hillsides, in meadows or lawns give 
a most pleasing effect. They will increase in 
beauty and number without special care and be¬ 
come permanently established.
