SWEET-SCENTED HYACINTHS 
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 spring 
when danger from hard frost is past. 
Pot Culture: Plant any time from 
September to December, 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 later 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 earli- 
est, the D’s the latest.
