WOODS HYACINTHS 
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 bulbs 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. For a succession of blooms, bring 
the first out about December 1st, and every two weeks thereafter, 
until February ist. 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 short- 
ens the blooming 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.

Roman Hyacinths 
BLUE, WHITE AND PINK 
The flowers, while smaller than those of the Dutch Hya- 
cinths, are borne in much greater abundance, each producing 
about 6 graceful spikes of blooms, which makes it a most 
valuable sort for cutting. They can be forced very easily, 
and if planted early and brought into the house at intervals 
of about two weeks, will yield a succession of blooms from 
Christmas to Easter.
