EARLY WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



The Roman Hyacinths may be potted any time after September 1st, and success ye lots every 

 two or three weeks, if wanted during the winter months — those potted by October 1st will, by being 

 plunged to the rim of the pot in a cool place, have formed roots by the middle of November, ami if 

 then started and grown in a night temperature in the greenhouse of 55 or 60 degrees, will be in bloom 

 about Christmas or New Vear. As the Roman Hyacinth is small in size, a four inch pot will be 

 large enough for each bulb. Eacli bulb will average about two flowers each. Its pearly whiteness 

 and delicious odor makes it indispensable in all fine floral work. Extra Selected Bulbs, 10 cts. each; 

 $1.00 per dozen ; $6.50 per 100. 



SINGLE ROSE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



This kind flowers from two to three weeks later than the Early White offered above.
