WOOD’S HYACINTHS — 
CULTURE IN POTS: Use any good soil, mixed with sand, potting so as to leave 
the top of the bulb even with the soil. For a single plant use 4 or 5-inch pot; but 
the effect will be prettier if several bulbs are planted in a larger pot, and still more 
effective if all are of one color. Press the soil firmly around the bulbs, but do not pack 
it underneath. Sink the pot in the earth about 6 inches, covering with soil, choosing 
a location that is not too wet. For a succession of ploom, bring the first out about 
December 1st, and every two weeks thereafter, until February 1st. Keep moder- | 
ately warm and when they begin to bloom, give plenty of water, and as much fresh 
air as possible. Too much heat dries up the flower and shortens the blooming period. 
CULTURE IN OPEN GROUND: Any good garden soil will suit. If clay or very 
heavy, Go not cover more than 3 inches; if light, from 4 to 6 inches. Protect with 
manure, leaves or coarse litter to prevent freezing.
