Growing HFkyacinths in Water 
Use top size 19 cent. bulbs preferably. Smaller 
sized bulbs will produce blooms in keeping with 
the size of the bulb used. 
Open the bags upon arrival, and place in 
a cool, dry place until December Ist. The 
preferred storage temperature is 50 degrees 
F. but 60 degrees F. is allowable. 
Before placing the bulbs on the well 
known Hyacinth glasses, or Mason jars, old 
or dry roots should be removed. Fill the 
glasses with clean, cool water until the root 
base is touched. The glasses or jars are 
then placed in a cool, dark closet or cellar 
until the top growth is 4 inches above the 
bulb. This takes about 8 weeks. Preferred 
temperature not over 50 degrees F. 
When 4 inches 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. Hold temperature to not 
over 70 degrees F. Avoid too much direct 
; sunlight.

the most popular lavender varieties. 
Herald Each 50c, Three $1.35, Doz. $5.00 
The earliest of the Dutch Hyacinths. It 
is a new variety still little known, but we 
consider it the finest pink for early flow- 
ering and with care it may be had for 
Christmas. Does splendidly on Hyacinth 
glasses. The large, clear rose-pink bells 
of perfect form are carried on a stiff 
stem. 
Lady Derby Each 50c, Three $1.35, Doz. $5.00 
Beautiful and clear rose-pink, with large,

pure white. Compact spikes with large 
bells. Does well anywhere.
