Michell’s Sweet-Scented Hyacinths 

Hyacinths 
Pot Culture: Plant any time from 
September to November, using a 4- or 5- 
inch pot for single bulbs or several bulbs may 
be planted im a larger pot or bulb pan. After 
planting, water well and put in a cool, dark, 
airy place until well rooted, after which 
remove to a cool room and later to a warmer 
room. 
As there Is a slight, variation in the time of 
blooming of the various sorts, we have in- 
dicated their relative time of flowering by 
letters following the name of the variety, 
the A’s being the earliest, the D’s the latest. 


Outdoor Culture: Plant in October and 
November, in good, well-drained garden 
soil. Plant bulbs so that the top will be 3 to 4 
| inches below the surface and 6 to 8 inches 
leapart. 
After the ground has frozen, cover 
with litter, leaves, or manure, to protect 
them from frost; this should be removed in 
spring when danger from hard frost is past.

French Roman Hyacinths afford a con- 
tinuous supply of bloom indoors from early 
winter until late in spring if planted in suc- 
cession. They are very fragrant and are 
easily grown In pots or pans. If bulbs are 
potted in September, the pots plunged in the 
open ground for a month until well rooted, 
and then brought in the house, they can be 
had in flower in November or December. A 
continuous supply of flowers may be had by 
bringing in a few pots or pans at intervals of 
about two weeks. The bulbs should be 
planted quite close together; a 6-inch pot or 
pan will be sufficiently large for six bulbs. 
‘They are not hardy and are not suitable for 
outdoor planting.
