ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



Extensively used by florists for forcing for cut-flowers, 

 of bulbs. The flowers are pure white, delightfully fra- 

 grant, and each bulb will throw up from three to four 

 spikes. For forcing, three or four bulbs are generally 

 planted in a suitable pot, in good soil (as recommended for 

 other varieties). The pots must be kept in a cool and dark 

 place until they fill with roots, when the flower-spikes can be 

 rapidly developed by exposure to light and moderate heat. 

 They are very easily grown and extremely early; and by 

 making successive plantings they may be had in flower all 

 through the winter. The blue and rose Roman Hyacinths 

 flower from one to two weeks later than the white variety.
