CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR HYACINTHS: 
Outdoor Culture. Plant in October and November, in 
good, well-drained garden soil. Plant bulbs so that the top 
will be 3 to 4 inches below the surface and 6 to 8 inches 
apart. After the ground has frozen, cover with litter, 
leaves, or manure, to protect them from frost; this should be 
removed in the spring when danger from hard frost is past. 
Pot Culture. Plant any time from September to De- 
cember, using a 4- or 5-inch pot for single bulbs or several 
bulbs may be planted in a larger pot or bulb pan. After 
planting, water well and put in a cool, dark, airy place until 
well rooted, after which remove to a cool room and [ater to 
a warmer room. 
As there is a slight variation as to time of blooming of the 
various sorts, we have indicated their relative time of 
‘flowering by letters following the name of the variety, the 
A’s being the earliest, the D’s the latest.
