TUblPS 



Roman Myagiinths 



A CHARMING class of Hyacinths, extensively grown by florists for winter cutting. 

 Each bulb gives several flower stalks, and by successive plantings, can be had in 

 flower from November to March. The flowers are somewhat smaller than the ordi- 

 nary Hyacinth, but very fragrant. The best effect is produced by planting four or 

 five bulbs in one medium sized pot. May be planted outdoors, 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. ^^^„

It is difficult to conceive anythmg 

 more pleasmg to the eye than a 

 bed of good Tulips Then great 

 variety of color, intense brilliancy and beautiful shading, make 

 them universal favorites. Another great consideration m their 

 favor is the ease with which they can be 

 cultivated, only requiring any good com- 

 mon soil to grow 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 Tulip 

 has been so much improved by 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 Hya- 

 cinths, they may be had in 

 bloom in December. 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 

 effect is obtained by plant- 

 ing from three to a dozen 

 bulbs in a medium sized pot. ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
