GIANT EXHIBITION HYACINTHS 
Our experience has proved that this exhibition size is ideal for both garden and indoor culture 
Plant in October, 6 inches deep. A sunny location is best, in any good enriched garden soil that has 
been spaded deep. For consistently good results, the florets should be stripped from the main stem 
after blooming. Do not cut the foliage; allow it to die down naturally. The bulbs can be left undis- 
turbed. 
FLOWERING HYACINTHS INDOORS 
Bulbs should be potted in early October. Use loamy soil and a pot at least 4 inches deep, with 
drainage. Water thoroughly after planting. Place in a cool fruit cellar (temperature 50° F.) and keep 
consistently moist; or bury the pot 6 inches deep in a trench outside and mulch heavily after a frost 
of 2 inches. Bring the pots indoors any time after January 10. Set in a cool window (not over a ra- 
diator) and water daily. A succession of blooms can be had until Easter. 
Use L’ Innocence, Bismarck, and Pink Pearl for early forcing; other varieties can be forced late
