POLYANTHUS NARCISSI. 
A very decorative class of bulbous plants for green- 
house and window cultivation, but not hardy out of 
doors in our climate. They produce enormous trusses 
of delicately fragrant flowers, varying in color from snowy 
white to deep yellow. Treat the bulbs in the same manner 
as noted for Hyacinths, except that the bulbs should be 
set half an inch deeper in the soil. They may be easily 
and quickly forced; our florists frequently have them in 
bloom by Thanksgiving.

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
These beautiful Hyacinths are indispensable to the florist 
in his autumn and winter cut-flower work; while to the ama- 
teur they are among the most easily cultivated and most satis- 
factory 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.
