„. . ROMAN HYACINTHS a charming class of Hya- 



_,„,.„-. Jr^^il = ^ — — cmtns, extensively grown by 



4" - "- - -I florists for winter flowering. Each bulb gives several flower stalks, 



and by successive plantings they can be had in flower from Novem- 

 ber to March. The flowers are somewhat smaller than the ordi- 

 nary Hyacinth , but are very fragrant. The best effect is produced by 

 planting four or five bulbs in one medium sized pot. May be 

 planted out doors, but in latitudes north of 40 degrees should be 

 given slight protection through the winter. The colored Romans 

 jl/W flower about two to three weeks later than the white. Our bulbs 

 are of large size and will be sure to give the greatest satisfaction,

TULIPS 



It is difficult to conceive of anything more bril- 

 liant in color than a bed of good Tulips. Their 

 great variety of color, intense brilliancy and 

 beautiful shading, make them universal favor- 

 ites. Another great consideration in their favor 

 is the ease with which they can be cultivated, only requiring good common garden soil 

 ^---^^ . to grow them to perfection; the 



price, too, as compared A^-ith other 

 bulbs, places them within the reach 

 of all. There are no bulbs which 

 make such a rich and gorgeous dis- 

 play of blossom with so little care 

 and cultivation. The Tulip has been 

 so much improved by the Dutch cul- 

 tivators that it ranks high in the 

 floral world. In form, wealth of 

 color, and the variety of its mark- 

 ings, it is one of the most perfect of 

 flowers. 



The culture of Tulips is the same 

 as that of Hyacinths except that the 

 bulbs should be planted a little 

 deeper, and two to six inches apart. 

 Tulips are perfectly hardy, so only 

 a slight protection is required from 

 extreme cold and sharp winds. 



All of the single varieties force 

 readily, and have become great fa- 

 vorites in the house in mid-winter. 

 If potted in September and treated 

 as directed for Hyacinths they may 

 be had in bloom in December. When 

 they show a tendency to bloom just 

 above the bulbs, they must be kept 

 longer in the dark to draw out the 

 flower stems. A splendid effect is 

 obtained by planting from three 

 to a dozen bulbs in a medium sized
