EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS 



Roman Hyacinths are popular for winter flowering in the house 



pots 



and 



used for "forcing" for cut 

 flowers. The white Roman Hya- 

 cinth is the earliest, best and 

 most floriferous variety, though 

 the pink and light blue are beau- 

 tiful and supply a variation of 

 color. 



They are all easily grown in 

 pots of soil, and throughout the 

 winter a continuous succession 

 of delightful flowers may be en- 

 joyed by bringing in from the 

 cellar a pot or two of the rooted 

 bulbs at intervals of about two 

 weeks. A five-inch pot is suffi- 

 cient 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 for 

 open ground planting north of 

 Washington, but where winters 

 are mild, if lightly protected with 

 mulch they thrive in the gar- 

 den.
