EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS 



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

 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, rose, 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 

 deUghtful flower; 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 for 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.

 EARLY PINK ROMAN HYACINTHS 



DUTCH ROMAN HYACINTHS 



The smaller or three-year-old bulbs of 

 some varieties of Dutch Hyacinths pro- 

 duce, considering their size, beautiful 

 spikes of bloom, not as large nor furnished 

 with as many bells as older full-sized 

 bulbs but still so satisfactory for their 

 low price that they are extensively grown 

 for vrir.ter flowers, forced either in flats" 

 pans or pots. They i:i:iy be had in flower 

 from J:;::uary on — thus succeeding the 

 earlier Fr^-nch Romans. The bulbs may 

 be placed very near together — say — an 

 inch apart — requiring 7 or 8 bulbs for a 

 7-inch pan or 5 bulbs for a 5-inch pot or
