EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
HESE beautiful Hyacinths are indispensable 
to the florist in his autumn and winter cut- 
flower work; while to the amateur they are among 
the most easily cultivated and most satisfactory 
of flowering bulbs. The white variety, if planted 
early in September and gently forced, will bloom in 
November; the others require from two to three 
weeks longer. 
When grown in pots or pans they are most 
effective planted in groups of six or more bulbs in 
each, 
White. Extra Large. 60 cents per doz.; $4.50 per 100; $42.00 
per I,000. 
White. .Mammoth. S8ocents per doz.; $6.25 per 100; $60.00 
per I,000. 
Pink. 50 cents per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per I,000. 
Light Blue. 50 cents per doz.; $4.09 per 100; $35.00 per 1,000. 
White Italian or Parisian. These are about a fortnight 
later than the Early White Roman Hyacinths and the blos- 
soms somewhat larger. They are very useful for forcing, 
being fragrant and decorative. 50 cents per doz.; $4.00 
per 100; $35.00 per 1,000.
