IMPROVED EARLY WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
The pearly whiteness, delicious perfume, earliness and profusion of 
bloom, has made this variety exceedingly popular. We sell annually 
nearly half a million bulbs of this variety alone. Each bulb will throw 
up two to four spikes of bloom, and they are so easily grown and so 
early, that if potted in August and September they can be brought into 
flower in November and December, and by a succession of plantings 
can be had in bloom throughout the winter. Roman Hyacinths are pots | y* 
hardy enough for open ground culture north of Washington. (See cut.) >' <
