ROMAN HYACINTHS 



These are specially valuable for forcing and pot 

 culture in the house, each bulb producing from two 

 to six Bpikes 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 suc- 

 cession of bloom may be had until May. They are 

 not considered hardy as far north as this, but by pro- 

 tecting well from severe frosts we have had very 

 pretty beds of them early in spring.

Water Hyacinth. 



(Eichornia Crassipes Major.) 

 An exceedingly interesting plant, producing freely 

 large spikes of beautiful, rosy, lilac colored flowers, 

 the delicacy of which reminds one of an orchid. It 

 blooms best if grown in two or three inches of water 

 with rich soil for the roots to take hold of, and in- 

 creases very rapidly; but it may also be grown in 

 deep water in a pond, the same as our common water 

 lily, in which way it forms large clusters of roots 

 which hang downward, the whole plant floating 

 around on the water. 



Each 25c; $2.50 per dozen. Free by mail. 



Hyacinthus Candicans. 



(The Cape Hyacinth.) Ready in November. 



A plant although only half hardy and requiring 

 a little protection in winter, is nevertheless well 

 worthy of cultivation. Its flowers are drooping, 

 pure white and exquisitely perfumed, and are borne 

 on a stem which grows erect about four feet in 

 height. It should be planted in fall. 



Price each, 10c; per doz, 81.00. Free by mail.
