 cinths, easily forced and largely grown for winter 

 flowering. Can be forced in pots, pans, or grown in 

 bowls and vases in Holland Fiber. They bloom later 

 than the true French Roman Hyacinths but produce 

 larger spikes. Five to six bulbs can be potted in a 

 6-inch pot. Treatment same as for Dutch Hyacinths.

French Roman Hyacinths 



These are the true Roman Hyacinths, invaluable lor 

 early forcing. The flowers are much smaller than those 

 produced by the Dutch Miniature Hyacinths but 

 earlier and more graceful. The ease with which they 

 can be grown in pebbles and water, like the Paper- 

 While Narcissus, as well as in soil or fiber, and their 

 long-lasting quality, make them especially desirable for 

 forcing in the home, where they may be had in bloom 

 from Thanksgiving until Easter. Allow plenty of time 

 for them to establish roots before bringing them to 

 the light.
