ROMAN HYACINTHS 



Extensively used by florists for forcing for cut-flowers. 



For this purpose they are the best and most popular 

 of bulbs. The flowers are pure white, delightfully 

 fragrant, and each bulb will throw up from three 

 to four spikes. For fo. cing, 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 de- 

 veloped 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 flowtr all through 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.
