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.

AUTUHN CROCUS. 



Colchicum— A curious and interesting plant, 

 known as the Autumn Crocus. If planted in fall 

 the leaves make their appearance in spring, 

 while it does not come into bloom until fall, and 

 the following summer will find it in seed. One 

 of its peculiarities is that it will bloom equally 

 as well out of the ground as in it. If placed on 

 a shelf without soil or moisture, its pretty pink 

 flowers will appear just the same as if it had 

 been left in the ground. 



Fine mixed, large bulbs, 5c each; doz.. 50c; 

 83.00 per 100. 



If by mail, add 10 cents per dozen extra.
