Superb Hyacinths 
GROWING HYACINTHS INDOORS 
For planting in soil use any kind of pot that has drainage. Ordinary 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 imsure 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 larger 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. 
When bringing them into the light where they are to grow, better results will be ob- 
tained by growing them cool. A window sill or sunroom is best. 
OUTDOOR PLANTING 
Plant Hyacinths so that top of bulb is about 5 inches under the surface, 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.

Iris 
Dutch Iris 
These splendid bulbous flowers have become exceedingly popular for garden planting 
in recent years by reason of the greatly reduced price of the bulbs of the better varieties, 
which allows them to be planted more generally. 
The exquisite orchid-like flowers come in blue and yellow shades, also white, and white 
with tints of yellow and blue, or both. 
Contrary to the common impression, that they are not hardy, Dutch Iris will be found 
as hardy as daffodils or tulips. They require early planting along with most kinds of 
Narcissi, early covering to protect from severe freezing, and given this, will produce a new 
and delightful display in the garden. 
; Plant each variety or color in clusters of six or more, four to five inches deep in any 
good well drained garden soil, and in a sunny location. Mulch with leaves or marsh hay 
about the time that severe cold weather sets in. 
Dutch Iris may also be successfully grown indoors or forced in the greenhouse.
