NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1917 



Early- Flowering Roman Hyacinths 



ROMAN HYACINTHS are very desirable for 

 winter flowering in the house and begin to 

 bloom very quickly. The Bulbs are hardy 

 and can be planted in the open ground if 

 given slight protection. The delicious per- 

 fume and profusion of bloom have made 

 these Hyacinths very popular. 

 Price, 6 cts. each, IS cts. for 3, 50 cts. per doz., $4 

 per 100, postpaid. 



On account of unsettled conditions in Europe the crop 

 of Roman Hyacinths is likely to be short and the bulbs 

 smaller than usual. We wish, however, to assure our 

 customers that we will supply the best bulbs obtainable.

 bloomer; very beautiful and sweet. 



Single Blush-White. Rich creamy white,
