Early Flowering French Roman Hyacinths. 



A charming class of Hyacinths from the south of France, 

 producing graceful, delicately perfumed spikes of flowers. 

 They force readily in the house. Three bulbs can be put in 

 a 4-inch, or six bulbs in a 6-inch pot, and as each bulb pro- 

 duces several spikes it makes a beautiful plant for conservatory 

 or house decoration. ' Their treatment is identical with the 

 Dutch Hyacinths. See page 3.

GRAPE HYACINTHS. 



Muscaria Botryoides. One of the prettiest of early spring flowering bulbs, 

 growing about six inches high and throwing up numerous spikes of clear 

 blue or white flowers, which resemble a miniature bunch of grapes. 

 They are perfectly hardy, and once planted take care of themselves ; in 

 clumps or lines they are very effective. 5 or 6 bulbs in a 4-inch pot make a 

 pretty plant for window decoration, blooming naturally about Easter-time.

FEATHERED HYACINTHS.

 purple feathers ; perfectly hardy and will grow anywhere. 20 cts. per doz.; §1.25 per 100.
