SINGLE HYACINTHS 
CROCUS 
Spring -Flowering Crocus 
Crocus are frequently the first flowers to appear in spring, coming a few 
days after the snow disappears. They are at their very best when scattered 
over a lawn or planted in rows as a border for a bed of perennials. When 
used on the lawn, scatter them freely over the surface, then lift the sod 
with a trowel and slip the bulb underneath. Crocus may also be grown in 
pots or bulb pans and will produce a pleasing effect. The bulbs are entirely 
hardy, and the grass may be mowed without injuring the Crocus plants.

“The fF cagraut HY ACINTHS 
Hyacinths should be planted early, but they may be set from October 
until the ground freezes. Spade the soil 8 to 10 inches deep, making it as 
fine as possible, If the soil is heavy, add sand, well-decayed manure, or 
peat moss. Set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches deep and about the same distance 
apart. Before hard freezing comes, cover the bed lightly with leaves or 
litter, removing it in the spring. 
Hyacinths grow readily in pots. Use the named varieties, one bulb in 
a 5-inch pot, or three bulbs in a 7-inch pot. Use garden soil or bulb fiber, 
and a little plant-food; set the bulb 4 inch below the soil Jevel. Water 
thoroughly, put in a dark, cool place for six to eight weeks, giving water as 
needed; when the bulbs are well rooted, bring the pots to a warm room. 
Hyacinths also thrive in water. Set the bulbs in a Hyacinth glass, 
with the base merely touching the water. Place in the dark until the roots 
are well grown. Add water as needed; a small piece of charcoal tends to 
keep the water pure. Give plenty of light and air, but the temperature 
should be less than 60 degrees until the flowers develop.
