 grade of mixed Hyacinths offered at a reasonable price: We 

 recommend the Single-flowering Sorts as giving the best and most 

 uniform results:

DUTCH ROMAN or 

 MINIATURE HYACINTHS 



These are small bulbs of the single-flowering Dutch Hyacinths, 

 and quite distinct from the French Romans, and excellent for 

 growing in pans, pots or boxes, in soil or prepared fibre, blooming 

 early and freely. They may be planted close together in the pans, 

 pots or boxes, or in beds in the open ground, with charming effect. 

 The bulbs we offer average 5 inches in circumference, and must 

 not be confounded with smaller unnamed sorts.
