Lovely Little Hyacinths 



for the Rock Garden, Boxes, or Pans 



These Hyacinths are of the same size as Tulip bulbs. They are 

 particularly fine for growing in pans, pots, or boxes filled with soil 

 or with prepared bulb fibre. They will bloom early and freely. 

 In order to secure a good showing it is well to plant 6 bulbs closely 

 together in a 6-inch pan.

Virginia 



The Blue Roman Hyacinth 



A Showy Newer Variety for Growing Indoors 



This Blue Roman Hyacinth which has been successfully 

 grown for the last few years comes from France. It is a cross 

 between a very fine porcelain blue Dutch Hyacinth and the 

 Early White French Hyacinth from which it receives its 

 daintiness and earliness of bloom. 



Virginia has much larger bells and the stem is longer than 

 the White Roman. It will produce two to three perfect 

 flower spikes to the bulb. 



Virginia will bloom for Christmas, in the house. If not 

 required at that time it may be grown cool and flowered 

 when wanted. Anyone will succeed with it.

Roman Hyacinths 



Easy to Grow in the House 



Early White French Hyacinths 



Early White French 



These are somewhat tender, not recommended for outdoor 

 planting in the north but they are of utmost value for forcing 

 in the house. Their loosely formed, delicately perfumed flower 

 spikes will give a splendid display from November until April 

 if succession plantings are made a week or ten days apart. They 

 may be grown in either soil or bulb fibre starting them in a moder- 

 ately cool but frostproof room.
