: GROWING HYACINTHS IN PURE WATER 
Unpack the bulbs when you get them and place them in 
j a cool, dry, dark place until December lst. Before placing 
ee them in the Hyacinth glass clean the root base and plate 
of the bulbs so that all remains of the old roots and root plate aire re- 
moved. “Fill the glasses with clean, cool water until the root base of 
the bulbs are touched. Place the glasses in cool, dark closet or cellar 
until tne top growth is 4 inches above the bulb. Best temperature 50 
degrees. When a 4-inch top growtn has been made, take the glasses 
to a window in a warm room and add water if necessary. If the air 
in the room is dry, moisten the flower buds each day with a wad of cotton, 
dipped in cool water.
