PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BULBS. 



WHITE ROMAN 

 ' HYACINTH. 



' I HL flowers, while "^mailer than those of the ordinary Dutch 

 _X_ Hyacinth, >et are produced ii much greatt-r abundance — 

 each bulb producing several very graceful spikes of bloom ; 

 their delicious perfume, earliness and profusion of bloom have made Roman Hyacinths exceed- 

 injjly popular. They are so easily grown and so early that if potted in August and Sepiernber 

 they can be brought into flower in November and D'"cember, and by a succession of planiings 

 can be had in bloom throughout the winter. Roman Hvacinths are not considered hardy enough 

 for open ground culture north of Washington, though in our grounds near New York they 

 have proved perfectly hardy, slightly protected. For cutting purposes the Roman Hyacinth is the 

 finest bulb grown; {See ciit.)

These are extensively grown by florists by the Paris flower market, as the profusion of bloom, fragrance and graceful spikes render 

 popular for cutting purposes. They flower quickly after being potied and de-erve to be more largely gr wn. The bulbs are red-skinned 

 a little later than White Romans, and therefore are valuable for succession ; valuable for outside planting for cutting purposes in the spring. 



Price, 3 for IOC, 35c. per do3., $2.50 per 100. Postage loc. per dozen extra.

Are very pretty, producing flowering spikes about 6 mches high, 

 admirable for permanent beds and edgings and partia.ly shaded 

 situations, they sh'uld be planted in groups of one dozen or 

 more, where they will soon spread, and being perfectly hardy will 

 take care of themselves. They are very pretty when grown six 

 in a pot for winter flowering in the house.

^ ' rp Hy^ClNTHS. ' ' 



The Hollanders practice this method of growing Hyacinths for 

 winter flowering in the house with most satisfactory results. Ten 

 to twelve bulbs are planted m earthen pans, 8 or 9 inches across. 

 Several of these pans can be filled and put away for the bulbs to 

 root in the usual manner, and by bringine ihem in at interva's, the 

 beautiful display can be enjoyed for weeks. Bulbs of one variety 

 are usually preferred b=cause they will all flower at the same time, 

 though, if a person prefers a variety of colors in one pan. Selec- 

 tions can be made from the undermentioned colors which ail 

 bloom at about the same time, under the same growing conditions.
