How to Prevent Hyacinth Flowers 
from Splitting or Popping 
When removing Hyacinths from outside pits into the green¬ 
house, be sure that they are moved quickly and pots covered at 
all times, to prevent exposure to low temperatures. If this is not 
done during this period, the flower-spikes will either appear split 
or will blast, ruining your crop. Be sure that any change in 
temperature that you make is gradual; otherwise you will en¬ 
counter the above conditions.

Don't Let Your Bulbs Freeze 
Every year, near Easter-time, when the florist is looking for¬ 
ward to a banner lot of Hyacinths, Tulips, and Narcissus for sale 
at that season, there are some who suffer losses they could easily 
avoid by a little forethought. When potting bulbs, give them a 
thorough watering and place in a frame—if you have one—on a 
bed of cinders or ashes. This will allow the excess moisture to drain 
away. When the bulbs are potted and placed they should be 
covered with screened ashes or sand to a depth of at least 3 inches 
above the top of pots. When permanent cold weather sets in, 
cover with long straw manure (do not use leaves). During severe 
winter and on cold nights, keep sash on the frames. You cannot 
expect the best results from bulbs if they are allowed to freeze 
excessively; it ruins the flower germ. 
It is, of course, understood that this suggestion applies to 
northerly latitudes. In all cases bulbs should be unpacked and 
stored or planted upon arrival.
