Growing Hyacinths in Water 
\ Use biggest size bulbs preferably. Before placing 
the bulbs in the well-known Hyacinth glasses, the 
root base must be cleaned, so that all residue and 
old roots are removed. Fill the 
glasses with clean, cool water 
until the root base is touched. 
The glasses are then placed in 
a cool, dark closet or cellar un- 
til top growth is 4 inches above 
the bulb. This takes about

eight weeks. Preferred tempera- 
ture not over 50 degrees F. 
When 4 inches top growth 
has been made, the glasses may 
be taken to a north window in 
the living room, and if neces- 
sary, some water can be added; 
never change the water com- 
pletely. Hold temperature to 
not over 70 degrees F. Avoid 
too much direct sunlight.
