Dreer's Choice Bedding

A New Introduction of Real Importance 



The BLUE ROMAN HYACINTH 



VIRGINIA 



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 greenhouse. If 

 not required at that time it may be grown cool and flowered 

 when wanted.
