HYACINTHS — for Yudoor Culture 
YACINTHS are also useful for winter flowering indoors. They are not difficult to force if a few simple rules are fol- 
lowed. 
Pot them in good rich soil Just as soon as you receive them, either singly in 4-inch pots or three or more bulbs 
in larger pots or bulb-pans. They can then be set outside in a coldframe or in a cool cellar. After several weeks examine 
the pot or pan. 
If it is pretty well filled with roots, bring it indoors to a moderate temperature between 50 and 60° F. Don’t 
give too much light at first. After a week or two the bulbs can be exposed to full light and more heat. If they are not given 
ample time for root development, the result will be weak foliage, short stems, and imperfect flower spikes. 
GROWING HYACINTHS IN WATER 
Open the bags upon arrival and put in a cool, dry place until December 1. The preferred storage temperature is 50° F. 
but 60° F. ts allowable. 
Before placing the bulbs on Hyacinth glasses or Mason jars, the root base must be cleaned, so that all residue and old 
roots are removed. 
in a cool, dark closet or cellar until the top growth i is 4 inches 
above the bulb. This takes about eight weeks. The preferred 
temperature is not over 50° F. 
When 4 inches of top growth has been made, the glasses may 
be taken to a north window in the living-room, and if necessary 
some water can be added; never change the water completely. af 
Hold the temperature to not over 70° F. and avoid too much << 
direct sunlight.
