WOOD’S HY ACINTHS 
CULTURE IN POTS: Use any good soil, mixed with sand, 
potting so as to leave the top of the bulb even with the 
soil. For a single plant, use 4 or 5-inch pot, but the effect will be prettier if several buib3 are planted in a larger pot, and 
still more effective if all are of one color. Press the soil firmly around the bulbs, but do not pack it underneath. Sink the pot 
in the earth about 6 inches, covering with soil, choosing a location that is not too wet. cr a succession of blooms, bring tho 
first out about December 1st, and every two weeks thereafter, until February 1st. Keep moderately warm and when they begin 
to bloom, give plenty of water and as much fresh air as possible. Too much heat dries up the flower and shortens the bloom- 
ing’ period. 
CULTURE IN OPEN GROUND: Any good garden soil will suit. If clay or very heavy, do not cover more than 3 inches; 
if light, from 4 to 6 inches. Protect with manure, leaves or coarse litter to prevent freezing.
