ROMAN HYACINTHS 



These are specially valuable for forcing and pot 

 culture in the house, each bulb producing from 

 two to six spikes of dainty, very fragrant flowers. 



If planted early in September they can be had 

 in flower in November, and by keeping them un- 

 der cover and bringing into the light when 

 wanted, a succession of bloom may be had until 

 May. They are not considered hardy as far north 

 as this, but by protecting well from severe frosts 

 we have had very pretty beds of them early in 

 spring.

AUTUMN CROCUS. 



Colchicum — A curious and interesting plant, 

 known as the Autumn Crocus. If planted in fall 

 the leaves make their appearance in spring, while 

 it does not come into bloom until fall, and the 

 following summer will find it in seed. One of its 

 peculiarities is that it will bloom equally as well 

 out of the ground as in it. If placed on a shelf 

 without soil or moisture, its pretty pink flowers 

 will appear just the same as if it had been left in 

 the ground. 



Fine mixed, large bulbs, 5c each ; doz., 50c; S3.00
