Miniature Hyacinths, or 'Dutch Romans,' are small- sized bulbs of the ordinary Dutch Hyacinths, They are excellent for growing in groups in bowls, pans or flats, planted close together and treated just like the large Hyacinths when grown in pots. Culture in Olasses. âSome of the single Hyacinths may be grown very satisfactorily in water. Special glasses for the purpose can be bought from the seeds- men. They should be filled with pure water and the bulb so placed that its base barely touches the water. They are stored in a dark, cold closet or cellar till the roots are developed, and then brought in to the light. An airy, sunny situation and a temperature of about 60° regularly maintained will insure the best results. The glasses should be kept filled by adding water occa- sionally as required.
