AMERICAN GROWN ROMANS. 



The accompanying engraving shows 

 a bed of white Roman hyacinths grown 

 by Mrs. H. Rehder, Wilmington, N. 

 C. The bulbs are three years old and 

 are from sets originally taken from 

 mother bulbs. When through flower- 

 ing they are lifted, cured, and again 

 planted out the latter part of August. 



These flower as freely and throw as 

 large spikes as the best imported 

 bulbs. 



The photograph was taken January 

 22, up to which time no protection was 

 needed. It will be noticed that Wil- 

 lie Rehder stands in the background 

 without coat or hat, apparently medi- 

 tating upon the burning question of 

 bulb growing in the south. A cold 

 snap on February 3 put a different 

 complexion on things, however. 



MR. ALFRED REHDER, of the staff 

 of Holler's Deutsche Garten Zeitung,

 visit of six mouths or a year to Ameri- 

 ca to further his dendrological studies.

 Professor Sargent, at the Arnold Ar- 

 boretum, Boston, and will later visit 

 many of the leading horticultural es- 

 tablishments in America.
