Before placing the bulbs on the well- 
known Hyacinth glasses, or Mason jars, 
the root base must be cleaned, so that all 
residue and old roots are 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 eight 
weeks. Preferred temperature not over 
50 degrees F.
