HYACINTHS.

Tue Hyacinth is, perhaps, the most popular and most universally cultivated of all bulbous flowers. The cultivation of this buib for commerce is confined to Haarlem (Holland) and its neighborhood—hundreds of acres being entirely occupied by it. A field of Hyacinths in full bloom is described as a sight gorgeous in the extreme. Need we be surprised at its great popularity, when we consider, it is of the easiest culture, perfectly hardy, has delicacy and variety of coloring, and delicious perfume.

Culture of Hyacinths in Glasses.

It is not well to commence too soon with glasses ; from the beginning of October up to December is the best time. Fill the glasses with water, (rain water is the best,) place in the bulbs so that the base of each barely touches the water, and put them ina dark, dry place; when the roots are about two or three inches long, they may be brought to the light, but not too suddenly exposed ; as the foliage and trusses ad- vance, give all the air possible, otherwise they will be drawn up too weak; the glasses should be kept filled with water, and should be turned frequently to prevent ill-shaped plants.

Culture of Hyacinths in Pots,

Hyacinths required to bloom by Christmas, should be potted early in September; the following instructions for treatment of spring-flowering bulbs will be quite applicable to these, excepting that they may be taken from the plunging bed and placed in heat a little sooner than for later-flgwering kinds.

Hyacinths to flower in spring, and for succession, should be planted in October, November and December; the best compost for them is one-half turfy fibrous loam well rotted, third part good old decomposed manure, fourth part fine rotted leaf mould; to every barrowful of the above compost, add one peck clean sharp sand. The sized pots generally used are five and six inch. Hyacinths, as well as all other plants, require good drainage ; therefore, place about an inch of potsherd in the bottom of the pot, with a layer of rotten cow dung, fill up the pot with the compost, with a little sharp sand on the top, on which place the bulb, pressing it firmly down, filling round with the soil just to leave the crown in sight. When this is done, give them a good soaking of water, taking care to let them have plenty of time to drain before plunging; choose a hard dry place out of doors to stand them on, covering them over six or eight inches with old tan or ashes, leaving them thus till the pots are well filled with roots ; then remove them to a pit or frame, gradually exposing them to light; after which, place them ina warm room or house. Attention must be paid to watering ; and as the foliage and trusses advance, occasional waterings of liquid manure is very essential. When the a begin to expand, the plants may be taken to a cool room, where there is plenty of light.

Hyacinths for Beds or Borders.

Hyacinths will succeed in any well-drained soil. If of a very adhesive nature, add two or three inches of sharp sand and about the same quantity of weli decayed manure ; then dig the soil eighteen inches deep, well mixing the sand and manure with the soil. Sandy loams require nothing more than the addition of manure and deep digging. Plant, when the soil is dry, in rows about nine or ten inches apart, and a foot between the rows. Thecrown of the bulb should be three or four inches under the surface of the soil. Before severe freezing, cover the bed with three or four inches of old tan, hops or short litter, to exclude frosts. This, however, should be removed early in spring.

DOUBLE HYACINTHS.

The very earliest are marked thus **, the early *. These are suitable for growing in pots and glasses, but are not quite as early as the single. The double and late varieties succeed best in pots, boxes or open ground.

TULIPS.

The Tulip is well known to every cultivator of Flowers, and is universally admired for its bright and showy colors. It is of the easiest cultivation, being perfectly hardy, and grows freely in any ordinary soil. Many of the tall growing and late blooming varieties are only suitable for garden cultivation, whilst the early flowering, dwarf varieties, are admirable for forcing. Autumn is best for planting, and if the ground i is prepared as recommended for Hyacinths, they will succeed to perfection. In “planting, cover the bulbs three or four inches, and about four inches apart, and nine or ten inches between the rows.

The habits of this class of Tulips are very dwarf and early, with brilliant colors, are excellent for forcing—the earliest.

CROCUS—(Crocus Vernis.)

Culture of the Crocus in the open ground.

Choose a deep, light, rich soil, in an open situation; plant the bulbs in October, November or December, two or three inches deep, and about two inches apart, cover- ing them with the fine mould. The Crocus, used for edging beds or borders, or planted in lines along the edges of walks, or in clumps, has a beautiful effect during the early spring, if the colors are tastefully arranged.

Culture of the Crocus in pots, ornamental vases, wire baskets, &c.

Commence flanting about the middle of October, in fine sandy soil. For pots or vases, a few may be planted every three weeks, for a succession. In’planting in wire baskets, procure some green moss, with which line the inside of the basket, to prevent the mould going through; fill up with the soil recommended, and plant the bulbs on the top, two inches apart, half covering them; then place moss between the bulbs to give the surface a beautiful green appearance. When they begin to show flower, a liberat supply of water will be required.

Crocusses may be grown in glasses, with the same treatment as the Hyacinth.
