GROWING HYACINTHS INDOORS 
For planting in soil use any kind of pot that has drainage. Ordi- 
nary clay pots are preferable and ordinary soil with a little sand mixed 
into it makes it more porous. Place a broken piece of crock over the 
hole in the bottom so as to insure free drainage. Fill in enough soil 
so that when placing the bulb the top will be about an inch below 
the level of the top of the pot, fill in soil and cover bulb firmly, leaving 
plenty of space below rim for watering. Use 4 to 5 inch pots for the 
‘arger bulbs when planting them singly. A number of small bulbs 
planted in wider shallow pots is very satisfactory. After potting, water 
thoroughly and place in a cool dark place and leave until a number 
of roots show on the outside of soil when it is tipped out of pot. When 
several roots show through, it is then safe to bring them into the light 
where they are to bloom. 
i 
When bringing them into the light where they are to grow, better 
results will be obtained by growing them cool. A window sill or sun- 
room is best. 
OUTDOOR PLANTING 
Plant Hyacinths so that top of bulb is about 5 inches under the sur- 
face, water thoroughly, and cover with leaves or coarse straw before 
severe cold weather sets in. Covering for Hyacinths should be quite 
heavy. Remove covering as early as snow and ice will permit but if 
already sprouted it is well to replace a little of the covering to keep the 
direct rays of the sun away, this is to prevent harm from the sudden 
changes in weather.
