14 SPECIAL IMPORT OFFER OF FLOWER BULBS 



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 delightful 

 flowers 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 Washing- 

 ton, but wherejthe winters are mild, especially if lightly protected with mulch they thrive excellently in the 

 garden.

DUTCH ROMAN HYACINTHS 



The smaller or three-year-old bulbs of some varieties of Dutch Hyacinths produce, 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 winter flowers, forced either in "flats" 



pans or pots. They may be had in flower 

 from January on — thus succeeding the 

 earlier French 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
