EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS 



R.jMiaii Hyacinths are exceedingly {xjpular 

 id iJivaliiabie for winter flowering in the 

 -oust' in pots or pans, and are also extensively 

 a^ed for "forcing" for cut flowers. The white 

 •Roman Hyacinth is the earliest, best and 

 niOiSt floriferous variety, though the pink, rose 

 and hght blue are very beautiful and supply a 

 variation of color. 



They are all easily grown in pots of soil and 

 if potted in September, the pots plunged in 

 the open ground for a month until the bulbs 

 are well rooted, and then brought in the 

 house they can be had in flower in November 

 or December, and from that time throughout 

 the -winter a continuous succession of delight- 

 ful flowers may be enjoyed by bringing in 

 from the plunge or cellar a pot or two of the 

 rooted bulbs at intervals of about two weeks. 

 A five-in. pot is large enough for 3 bulbs, a 

 six-inch pot or pan for 6 bulbs, a seven-inch 

 pot or pan for S bulbs. Roman Hyacinths 

 are not hardy enough for open ground plant- 

 ing north of Washington, but where the win- 

 ters are mild, especially if lightly protected 

 with mulch they thrive excellently in the 

 garden.

DUTCH ROMAN HYACINTHS 



The smaller or three-year-old bulbs of some varieties 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. They may be had in flower from Januarj- on — thus succeeding the earlier French Romans. 

 The bulbs may be placed very near together — say — an inch apart — requiring 7 or 8 bulbs for a 7-inch pan 

 or 5 bulbs for a 5-inch pot or pan.
