ROMAN HYACINTHS B=S 



by florists for Winter cutting. Each bulb gives several flower 

 stalks, and by successive plantings, can be had in flower from 

 November to March. The flowers are somewhat smaller than the 

 ordinary Hyacinth, but very fragrant. The best effect is produced 

 by planting four or five bulbs in one medium sized pot. May be 

 planted outdoors, but in latitudes north of 40 degrees should be 

 given slight protection through the Winter. The colored Romans 

 flower about two to three weeks later than the white. Our bulbs 

 are of large size and will be sure to give the greatest satisfaction.

TULIPS 



It is diflicult to conceive anything more pleasing to the eye than a bed of good 

 Tulips. Their great variety of color, intense brilliancy and beautiful shading, make 

 them universal favorites. Another great consideration in their favor is the ease with 

 which they can be cultivated, only 

 requiring any good common soil to 



grow them to perfection; the price, ^Ili^^WPf^ Iv' jf if>f

it ranks high in the floral world. In 

 form, wealth of color, and the variety

 perfect of flowers. 



The culture of Tulips is the same '^^^M^fM^^M^^S!^Ki M' 

 as that of Hyacinths, except that '^^^tB iJIPTK^PM^il V 

 the bulbs should be planted a little ^^^SHHji^^lHSPn'mvlii ^^^^
