ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



A charming class of Hyacinths, produc-

 by keeping them in a cool place. They 

 force well in the house. 



The best effect is produced by planting 

 three 'to five bulbs in one medium sized pot.

TULIPS 



Add for postage on Tulips at the rate of 5c. 

 per dozen when ordered to be 

 sent by mail. 



We have given special attention to the 

 selection of our Tulips, and our collection 

 is unusually fine, embracing the choicest 

 leading varieties. For early forcing the 

 Due van Thol and early single sorts are 

 best. They should be started in Septem- 

 ber and treated the same as Hyacinths. 

 Early in November they may be removed 

 into heat. The greater part ought to be 

 potted from the middle of September to the 

 end of October. For outdoor planting 

 they should be set 3 to 4 inches deep, and 

 4 to 6 inches apart, according to the size of 

 the bulb. A few bulbs planted here and 

 there produce but little effect, but when 

 planted in masses, or in small groups, they 

 become at once brilliant and grand, and 

 surpass in variety of coloring and pictur- 

 esque effect almost any other flower. 



The letters A. B and C indicate earliness 

 of blooming. Those marked A are earli- 

 est, B next, and then C. L stands for late.
