Hyacinths 
The best handpicked quality, choice bulbs, selected from healthy stocks, adopted for Bowls, 
Pots, Glasses and for Exhibition. We include only valuable varieties in our Collections. 
CULTURE IN POTS 
Hyacinths should be potted early in September for Christmas flowering and every fortnight 
after for succession. 
After three or four months, remove to the forcing house as required, but care should always 
be taken that the bulbs are well rooted and the buds well out of the neck of the bulbs before be- 
ginning to force, as successful cultivation depends almost completely on these points. To keep the 
foliage dwarf and to assist the perfect coloring of the flowers, when growing, they should have oc- 
casionally a supply of liquid manure. Always use clean old pots or pans. 
HYACINTHS ON GLASSES 
Fill the glass with water (rainwater preferred) so as almost to touch the base of the bulbs, a few 
pieces of charcoal should be put in the glass, as this is of service in keeping the water pure. The 
next proceeding is the simple one of placing the glasses in any dark room, cellar or cupboard, until 
the sprouts are about 3 inch. high, then they may be brought gradually to the full light. We only 
recommend Single varieties for this purpose. Although this system of culture is very simple, it is of 
the first importance that suitable bulbs should be obtained. 
OUTDOOR CULTURE 
For successful cultivation in the open air, Hyacinths may be planted any time from September 
to December. September and October being the best months; they like a light rich soil, the ground 
should be sufficiently drained to prevent it becoming too retentive of moisture; plant the bulbs at 
equal distances apart in circles or straight lines and about 5 inches deep. Never plant the bulbs when 
the ground is wet. They require a little covering of straw or a thin layer of leaves during the winter 
to protect them from frost. 
Those marked* are easy forcing varieties and especially suitable for indoor culture.
