 bulbs are all large size, measuring G inches and over in circumference. Being furnished in so many separate 

 colors, splendid bedding effects may be produced with them. They are also admiral)]y adapted for forcing in the 

 greenhouse for winter cut-flowers.

Extensively used by fiorists 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 

 thi-ough the winter. The blue and rose Roman Hyacinths 

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



If by mail, add 10 cents per dozen for postage.

These are grown largely by florists for cutting. The 

 flowers are single, very graceful and fragrant, and produced 

 abundantly. They are hardier than the Romans, and may 

 also be planted outside in the fall for flowers for early 

 spring cutting.
