DUTCH ROMAN HYACINTHS 



The smaller or three-year-old bulbs of some variedes 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. (See Bulb 

 Circular for Cultivation. Sent Free.)
