é EARLY.ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
A Roman Hyacinths are popular for winter flowering in the house in pots or pans 
pt and are also used for “‘forcing’’ for cut flowers. The white Roman Hyacinth is the 
4 earliest, best and most floriferous variety, though the pink, rose and light blue are 
a ‘beautiful and supply a variation of color. 
: They are all easily grown in pots of soil, and throughout the winter a continuous suc- 
cession of delightful flowers may be enjoyed by bringing in from the cellar a pot or two 
of the rooted bulbs at intervals of about two weeks. A five in. pot is sufficient for 3 
: bulbs, a six-inch pot or pan for 6 bulbs, a seven-inch pot or pan for 8 bulbs. Roman 
_ Hyacinths are not hardy for open ground planting north of Washington, but where 
winters are mild, if lightly protected with mulch they thrive in the garden.
