Excerpt from Flowering Bulbs for Fall Planting, 1925 Although less graceful than the lily, the Hyacinth is still Queen of the Dutch Bulbs, and is the most familiar of them all. It is perfect in form, of beautiful coloring, and carries its burden of fragrant bells with a stateliness characteristic of no other small flower. It does equally as well indoors as in the garden, and can be grown in fiber, water, sand, or soil. When grown in sand or soil it should be enriched with bone meal or sheep manure: For indoor blooming, it is best to plant the bulbs in Prepared Bulb Fiber, and bring them to the light at intervals of ten days or two weeks, for a succession of bloom. The bulbs should be planted from 4 to 6 inches deep and about 6 inches apart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
