The Hyacinth is one of the most popular of the Fall Hulbs anti commands a place in 
everj' home anti Rarden. There is nothing more attractive than a well-grown pan of 
Hyacinths, with theiris brilliantcolors and delightful fragrance, together with their long 
Keeiiing ipialities and tlecorative appearance. Hyacinths may 1x5 brought to bloom 
abotit the latter part of .January and if taken into the house at intervals, flowers may 
l 5 e obtainetl until the middle or latter part of April. 
Culture in Pots potting Hy.acinths for growing imloors a medium 
c 1 _light, well-enriched soil is best suited, placing sonte broken 
crock in the bottom for drainage. Set the bulbs about inch below surface of soil, 
giving them a thorough watering and put them away in a dark, cold place, so that they 
will not freeze; water them as often as need lx? to avoid drying. They should lx? al¬ 
lowed to remain for at least 12 weeks, or untill the iK)t is well filled with roots, when 
they may be remove?! to a warmer location, but still kept dark until a growth of 4 to 5 
inches is made, then bring to the light gradually until allowed to flower. 
When a re|)etition of bl<x>m is reciuirod, bring out one or more pots every week or 
ten days from place where allowed to root. 
t-iiria Preitare the beds or borders where they arc to be planted 
^ _ with well-rotted manure, having it well dug over to a 
depth of at least 12 inches, being well assured that the .soil is well drained to avoid any 
decay of the bulbs. Plant the bulbs at least r> inches deep and 6 ai)art. As soon as 
the ground begins to freeze, cover the beds with a litter of leaves, straw or pine boughs 
to a thickness of G or 8 inches. This covering should bo removed as early as possible 
after all danger from severe cold weather is j>ast. 
/"’iilf-iiro ir» To grow Hyacinths in glasses of water, the type il- 
V^lIlLUIc 111 vjiiloSCS lustrated on page .G shoulcl be use<l. The largest 
size bulbs should be selected, as they produce better results, are more rigid in the glasses 
and will su|)port the top-heavy bloom. When the bulb is placed in the top of the glass, 
fill U|) with water so that the bottom of the bulb is about J4-iuch below level of water.
