Growing Imported Holland Bulbs Indoors 
Bulbs make ideal house plants for flowers in the winter months, from 
early February till Easter. Arrange them in pots with moderately rich 
garden loam or potting soil, preferably before the middle of October. 
The top of the bulbs should be slightly above the soil. 
After planting, the pots are thoroughly watered. Bury about 8 in. 
deep in the coolest spot in the garden and cover with straw or leaves. 
It takes about ten weeks for roots to develop and the flower buds to 
be out of the neck of the bulbs so they can be brought into the house. 
For the first week, keep in partial light at a temperature 60°-65°, 
then place in a sunny window. 
To grow Crocus and Grape Hyacinths indoors, choose a location 
with about 50° temperature. Water regularly to keep the soil moist.
