FLOWERING ROMAN 

 HYACINTHS. 



A charming class of Hyacinths producing graceful, delicately 

 perfumed spikes of flowers. They force readily in the house. 

 Three bulbs can be put in a 4-inch pot, and as each bulb pro- 

 duces several spikes it makes a beautiful plant for conserva- 

 tory or house decoration. Their treatment is identical with 

 the Dutch Hvacinths, which see.

plants for cut flowers. Millions of these are annually
