THE HOLLAND BULB GARDENS, IPSWICH, MASS. 13 
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 TOUCH IT. 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 114 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.

cAnemeo ned 
With their bright colored flowers, Anemones belong to the most popular 
garden bulbs. They should be planted about 2 inches deep and 5 inches 
apart in a sunny position. Because of the difference in hardiness we have 
divided them into two groups: 
Group A. Summerflowering Anemones, which should be planted right 
after the danger of frost is over. They can also be planted in the Fall, 
in which case they will flower much earlier, however in this case they 
must be well covered for protection against frost.

Group B. Springflowering Anemones which are perfectly hardy, however 
in places with very severe frost a slight covering is advised. They pro- 
duce many flowers with very bright colors, however do not grow as tall 
as the Summerflowering Anemones and so are very suitable for Rock- 
gardens and naturalizing, as well as for your border.
