DETROIT, HYACINTHS Ready for delivery in September The Hyacinth is so well and so favora])ly known that it is unnecessary to give any detailed descrip- tion of its broad upright spike or truss usualh' thickly set with bell shaped flowers of beautiful wax-like texture. It succeeds well in the house and garden, adorning both with the varied colors and delicious fragrance of its showy flowers. Its culture is very simple and if attention is paid to the following directions, failure is almost impossible. Pot Culture in the House—Pliint from September to December in rich, light, sandy soil in four or five inch pots, flats, or six inch to ei^lit inch pans. Vhice the bulb so that its top will be just below the surface, care beinj? taken not to pack the soil as bulbs will be less likely to jnish out wiieii root growth commences if the soil is fine and loose. Water thor- oughly and set in a cool, dark place fur several weeks to allow of sufficient root growth, this being one of the essentials if spikes of generous size and long strong stems are desired. They should be watered occasionally if soil appears to be drying out. A succession of bloom may be had by bringmg the pots into the light at different times. During their growth they should be kept near the light at a teniperature of 50 to 70 degrees and watered frequently. Outdoor Culture in Beds or Borders—Bulbs may be jilanted any time from October until the ground is frozen solid. They succeed in any good garden soil, and while it is moie desirable to have a light sandy loam, this is not as essential as having the soil, no matter what its quality, in a well sjjaded and prepared condition and to furnish the proper drain- age conditions if jilanted in a sitnation where water has a temlency to stand at any time. Plant : to ten inches apart, covering four to five inches if soil is light, but
