ROMAN HYAGIPSTHS 



rj CHARMING class of Hyacinths, extensively grown by florists for winter flower- 

 fl ing. Each bulb gives several flower stalks, and by successive plantings they can 

 I j[ be had in flower from November to ]\Iarch. The flowers are somewhat smaller 

 than the ordinary Hyacinth, but very fragrant. The best effect is produced by 

 planting four or five bulbs in one medium sized pot. May be planted out doors, but in 

 latitudes north of 40 degrees should be given slight protection through the winter. The 

 colored Romans flower about two to three weeks later than the white. Our bulbs are of 

 large size and will be sure to give the greatest satisfaction,

TULIPS 



It is difficult to conceive any- 

 thing more brilliant in color 

 than a bed of good Tulips. 

 Their great variety of color, 

 mtense bnllianc\ and beautiful shading, make them universal favor- 

 ites Another gieat consi delation in their favor is the ease with 

 \\hich they can be cultivated, only re- 

 quiring good common garden soil to 

 glow them to perfection; the price too, 

 as compared with other bulbs, places 

 them within the reach of all. There are 

 no bulbs which make such a rich and 

 gorgeous display of blossom with so 

 little care and cultivation. The Tuhp 

 has been so much improved bv the Dutch 

 cultivators that it ranks high in the floral 

 world. In form, wealth of 

 color, and the variety of its 

 markings, it is one of the 

 most perfect of flowers. 



The culture of Tulips is 

 the same as that of Hya- 

 cinths, except that the bulbs 

 should be planted a little 

 deeper, and 2 to 6 inches 

 apart. Tulips are perfectly 

 hardy, so only a slight pro- 

 tection is required from ex- 

 treme cold and sharp winds. 

 All of the single varieties 

 force readily and have be- 

 come great favorites in the 

 house in mid-winter. If pot- 

 ted in September and treat- 

 ed as directed for Hyacinths 

 they may be had in bloom 

 in 'Dece'mber, When they 

 show a tendency to bloom 

 just above the bulbs, they 

 must be kept longer in the 

 dark to draw out 'the flower 

 stems. A splendid eff"ect is 

 obtained by planting from 

 three to a dozen bulbs in a 

 SINGLE TULIPS. medium sized pot.
