The Roman Hyacinth 



Is a south of France species, white in color, throw- 

 ing up a number of small spikes. Its chief value lies 

 in the fact that it can be brought into flower much 

 earlier than the Dutch varieties. It should be potted 

 as soon as received in early September and treated in 

 the manner indicated above, when it will be ready to 

 flower by the middle of November.
