HE flowers, while smaller than those of the -», 
ordinary Dutch Hyacinth, are produced BK. : 
in much greater abundance, each bulb pro- 2S OE 
ducing several graceful spikes of bloom; } 
their delicious perfume, earliness and profusion of 
bloom have made Roman Hyacinths exceedingly 
popular. They are so easily grown and so early that if pot- 
tedin August and September they can be brought into flower 
in November and December, and by a succession of plantings 
can be had in bloom throughout the winter. Roman Hya- 
cinths in our grounds near New York have proved perfectly hardy, slightly protected.

markets, as the profusion of bloom, fragrance and | 
graceful spikes render them very popular for cutting 
purposes. They flower quickly after being potted and deserve to be 
more largely grown. The bulbs are red-skinned and bloom a little 
later than White Romans, and, therefore, are valuable for succession ; 
valuable for outside planting for cutting purposes in the spring.

PAN §2%tch } HYACINTHS. 
The Hollanders practice this method of growing Hyacinthsfor winter 
flowering in the house, with most satisfactory results: 10 to 12 bulbs 
are planted in earthern pans, 8 or 9inches across. Severalof these pans 
can be filled and put away to rootin theusualmanner, and by bringing 
them in atintervals a beautiful display can beenjoyedfor weeks. Bulbs 
of one variety are usually preferred because they will all flower at the 
same time, though, if a person prefers a variety of colors in one pan, 
selections can be madefrom the under-mentioned colors, which all bloom 
at about the same time, under the same growing conditions. (See cut.) 
Pure White, Tinted White, Pink, Crimson, Light Blue, 
Dark Blue or Mixed Colors. 
Price, 3 for 10c., 35c. per doz., delivered free in the U.S., or, pur-
