 orders, one dozen each of the Dutch Roman and French 

 Roman Hyacinths, in the different colors, for $1.50, postpaid. 



Roman Hyacinths 



Miniature or Dutch Roman 



These are the 3-year-old bulbs of the Dutch Hyacinths, 

 easily forced, and largely grown for winter flowering. Can be 

 forced in pots, pans, or grown in bowls and vases in Holland 

 Fiber. They bloom later than the true French Roman Hy- 

 acinths but produce larger spikes. 5 to 6 bulbs can be potted 

 in a 6-inch pot. Treatment same as for Dutch Hyacinths. 

 Gertrude. Light pink. La Grandesse. Snow-white 



Grand Maitre. Lavender-blue LTnnocence. Pure white. 

 King of the Blues. Dark blue Moreno. Earliest rose 

 La Victoire. Dark pink. Schotel. Light blue 



Above varieties, 65 cts. per doz.; $4.50 per 100. 



Early-Flowering French Roman 



These bloom far earlier than the Dutch Romans. By early 

 potting in fall, with successional plantings, flowers may be had 

 from November to early spring, and quite early results may be 

 obtained by growing them in bowls or in saucers with water 

 and pebbles, or in balls or baskets of moss.
