HYACINTH GLASSES 
Hyacinths are also very suitable for growing on glasses, which method is very simple. 
Fill the glasses with water and the bulbs are placed upon them in such a way that 
the bottom of the bulb is resting a little above the water BUT DOES NOT TOUCHIT. 
This is very important: There should be a space of about one tenth of an inch between 
the bottom of the bulb and the level of the water. No more and no less. Then you put 
the glasses in a dark cool place, e.g. cellar or cupboard until the sprouts are about 
TY to 2 inches long after which they can be brought into a warm room and into full 
light. This will take at least six weeks.

The prettiest and most popular early Spring Flowers. Crocus can be planted in any 
place and they do not need any special care. Once planted they come back year after 
year with an increasing richness of flowers. Some varieties are also splendid for 
forcing, but for this purpose Mixed varieties should never be used.
