Roman Hyacinths. 



These are specially 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 had 

 in flower in November, and by keeping them 

 under cover and bringing into the light when 

 wanted, a succession of bloom may be had 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.

 quired.
