D» M, FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH, HYACINTHS All Hyacinths are well adapted to pot culture, open beds or borders. The Hyacinth is so well and so favor- ably known that any description of it or any statement of its merits would be super- fluous. Through centuries of careful cul- tivation and selection it has been brought to a state of perfection which will scarcely be improved in any great degree. It suc- ceeds well in the house and garden, adorn- ing both with the varied colors and deli- cious fragrance of its showy flow- ers. Its culture is very s'imple, and if attention is paid to the fol- lowing directions, failure is almost impossible. Pot Culture in the House.â Plant from September to Decem- ber in rich, sandy loam, in four or five inch pots, inserting the bulb so that its top will be just below the surface. Do not pack the soil in the pots, as the bulbs will be much less likely to push out when the root growth commences if the soil is loose. AVater thoroughly and set the pots away in a cool. dark place for several weeks. If cold coffee is used occasionally in stead of water it will often increase in intensity the coloring of the flowers. Keeping in the dark will allow the roots to grow and become firmly fixed in the soil, when the plants can be brought into the hght, and will at once commence the top growth. By bringing the pots into the light at different times, something of a succes- sion of bloom may be had. During their growth they should be kept near the light and at a temperature of 50 to 70 degrees, and watered frequently. Out=Door Culture in BedsorBor- â 'â ' ders.âThe bulbs may be planted almost any time from October until the ground is frozen solid, but it is advisable to purchase early, before our stocks are depleted. They succeed in any good, well drained garden soil which should be well spaded, and will be better if some well rotted manur
