Dutch Exhibition Hyacinths. 
These consist of the largest and finest selected bulbs of the 
Dutch Hyacinths and are best used for potwork. After they have 
been dried and stored in a cool place, they should be potted 
up in a light sandy soil; do not use new pots, unless they have 
been soaked for some time. Before plunging them in a cool 
spot, the ground should be soaked; a layer of sand on top of 
« 
the pots, to prevent damaging the crowns, when removing the 
pots during frost, is advisable. When bringing them in the 
greenhouse, keep the bulbs in subdued light, until the bud is 
sufficiently grown out of the bulb; temperature about 70 F., a 
little lower when the flower is visible.
