Hyacinths 
POT (TJLTUHK.—Plantings may be made at 
any time from September to December, though 
October is the best time. A light, rich soil, with 
a mixture of well-rotted cow or slieejj manure, is 
most suitable. Use a 4- or 5-inch jmt, and have 
the top of the bull.) .Just above tlie surface. After 
potting, give a good watering and set away in a 
cool cellar or outhouse, and cover over with coal- 
ashes or some litter nntil thoroughly rooted; they 
may then be brought as wanted for a succession 
of llovvcrs into a moderately warm, light room. 
(’ULTUHE IN GLASSES.—When it is desired 
to grorv Hyacinths in water, they should be 
])lacc.d so that the base of the bulb merely 
touches the water. The glasses should then be 
set in a cool, dark closet, or in the cellar, until 
filled with roots, when they may be brought into 
the light. Give as much fresh air as jrossible 
without letting the 2 )lants stand in a draught, 
and as nearly as jiossible at a temjjerature of 
(>(1° until the S 2 )ikes are dcveloi)ed. To put them 
at once into a room with a temperature of, say 
70°, would cause them to flower 2 )rematurely.
