DOUBLE DUTCH NAMED HYACINTHS 



All Select First Size Bulbs, not "Seconds" that may be sold at a lower price. 



Double Hyacinths are not as popular as the single-belled varieties; for as a class the "doubles" although their individuaLbells are large and beautiful 

 do not make as well-filled trusses. For this reason we confine our list of varieties to a few of the very best. The figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 after the names of 

 Hyacinths indicate the relative time of flowering — the 1'2 flower together and are the earliest; No. 4 the latest. 



PRICE— 30c EACH, $3.00 PER DOZEN, $22.00 PER HUNDRED

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS 



Roman Hyacinths are exceedingly popular and invaluable for winter flowering in the house in pot» 

 or pans, and are also extensively used for "forcing" for cut flowers. The white Roman Hyacinth is 

 the earliest, best and most floriferous variety, though the pink, and light blue are very beautiful 

 and supply a variation of color. 



They are all easily grown in pots of soil and if potted in September, the pots plunged in the open 

 ground for a month until the bulbs are well rooted, and then brought in the house they can be had in 

 flower in November or December, and from that time throughout the winter a continuous succession of 

 delightful flowers may be enjoyed by bringing in from the plunge or cellar a pot or two of the rooted 

 bulbs at intervals of about two weeks. A five-in. pot is large enough for 3 bulbs, a six-inch pot or pan 

 for 6 bulbs, a seven-inch pot or pan foi 8 bulbs. Roman Hyacinths are not hardy enough for open 

 ground planting north of Washington, but where the winters are mild, especially if lightly protected with 

 mulch they thrive excellently in the garden.
