For pot culture, plant in 5-inch pots, leaving one-third of the bulb exposed. Keep in a cool dark place for 5 or 6 weeks till the roots are fully developed, then gradually inure to the light. In glasses, fill the glass with water, so as to nearly touch the base of the bulb. A piece of charcoal the size of a walnut, put into the water, will keep it pure and obviate frequent changing. In changing the water, draw the roots lightly through the hand, to clean them from any scum, which might, if left, induce rot. Mixed Single Hyacinths. Postage 20c per doz. extra Each Per Doz.
