CURRIE BROS. CO., AUTUMN CATALOGUE, 1916 



Currie's Selected Early 



French Roman 



Hyacinths 



These are especially valuable for forcing and pot 

 culture in the house, each bulb producing from two to 

 six spikes of dainty, very fragrant flowers. 



If planted early in September they can be brought 

 into flower in November, and by keeping them under 

 cover and bringing into the light when wanted, a suc- 

 cession of bloom may be kept up until May. They 

 are not considered hardy as far north as this, but by 

 protecting well from severe frosts we have had very 

 pretty beds of them early in spring. 



Early White — One of the most popular bulbous 

 flowering plants, used by florists in very large num- 

 bers for cut flowers. The bulbs planted at intervals 

 from September to December will bloom from Novem- 

 ber to May. The flowers are deliciously fragrant.
