No other plant requires so little coaxing to produce its fragrant wealth of colorful flowers. Indoors the 
bulbs are easy to grow—so simple that anyone can be sure of delightful blossoms during late winter. Out¬ 
doors, Hyacinths bloom early and warm the flower border with their glory of fragrant beauty even before the 
tulips blossom. 
GROWING HYACINTHS INDOORS 
Hyacinths may be grown in water quite as successfully as in 
soil, and with fine results. A tall glass or deep bowl should be 
used in order that the heavy roots may have room to develop 
fully. The bulb should be supported, or held high enough so as 
to allow plenty of water below, and placed firmly so that the base 
of the bulb just touches the water. Fill in water to this level as 
often as needed. 
Growing Hyacinths in pots is a simple matter; a four or five inch 
pot for the larger bulbs, or a larger, low pot for several smaller 
bulbs may be used. Plant the bulb so that the top comes about 
level with the soil, but nearly an inch below rim of pot, as the 
roots are apt to push the bulb higher and not leave enough space 
to water. In petting, be sure that there is free drainage at bottom. 
After planting, Hyacinths should be put away in a cool, dark place, 
until plenty of roots have developed and may then be brought into 
the light, and a warmer temperature. 
In the following list we offer two sizes of bulbs of each kind. The 
Exhibition size is the very largest and selected bulbs that can be 
produced. 
The First size are very large bulbs, not quite as large as the Ex¬ 
hibition size, but will produce very fine large spikes.

OUTDOOR CULTURE 
Plant Hyacinths so that top of bulb is about five inches under the 
surface, water thoroughly, and cover with leaves or coarse hay be¬ 
fore severe cold weather sets in. Covering for Hyacinths should 
be quite heavy. Remove covering as early as snow or ice will 
permit. If already sprouted it is best to replace a little of the cover¬ 
ing as a shade, to keep the direct rays of the sun away until the 
tender sprouts have gotten used to the light. 
iTlulti^loweled Hyacinths 
These Hyacinths have been developed through a new cultural 
method, and a special process of preparation by a leading Spe¬ 
cialist of Hyacinths in Holland. In place of the large densely 
flowered spike of the ordinary Hyacinth, these produce from 6 to 
10 smaller, and more 
graceful spikes of flow¬ 
ers that resemble Ro¬ 
man Hyacinth blooms. 
These Hyacinths are 
particularly suited to 
growing indoors during 
the winter, but may be 
grown in the garden in 
the regular manner. 
The cultural treat¬ 
ment is the same as in¬ 
dicated for the ordinary 
Hyacinths.
