^™ench ^^ ROMAN HYACINTHS 



A charming class of Hyacinths from the south of France, producing 

 graceful, delicately perfumed spikes of pure white flowers. They force 

 readily in the house, and can be had in flower from November till April. 

 Three bulbs can be put in a 4-inch, or six bulbs in a 6-inch pan or pot, 

 and as each bulb produces several spikes, it makes a beautiful plant for 

 conservatory or house decoration. Their treatment is identical with the 

 Dutch Hyacinth (see page 3) except that we do not recommend them for 

 outdoor planting. 



Selected Bulbs, 7 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; |5.50 per 100. 



Extra Selected Bulbs, 8 cts. each; 90 cts. per doz.; $6.50 per 100. 



PREPARED BUI.B EIBRE 



This material has become very popular for growing bulbs in, and is espe- 

 cially adapted for use in the home, being clean and odorless, and as it 



is light in weight, can be sent 

 to a distance at small expense. 



It contains all the necessary 

 plant food for almost all kinds 

 of bulbous plants. 



Before using it should be 

 thoroughly moistened and the 

 bulbs planted in the same way 

 as if soil were used. A special 

 feature of this material is that 

 bulbs can be grown in it in jar- 

 dinieres, fern dishes and other 

 non porous receptacles without 

 drainage. In such cases it is 

 necessary to put a few pieces of 

 charcoal in the bottom of each 

 receptacle to take up any im- 

 purities, and after watering, the 

 jardinieres or dishes should be 

 turned on their side to allow 

 any surplus water to drain off. 



The treatment after planting 

 in this material is the same as 

 when planted in soil. 



60 cts. per peck; $2.00 per 

 Narcissus Growing in Bulb Fibre bushel.
