ROMAN HYACINTHS 



Extensively used by florists for forcing for cut-flowers. For this purpose they are the best and most popu- 

 ar of bulbs. The flowers are pure white, delightfully fragrant, and each bulb will throw up from three to four 



spikes. For forcing, three or four bulbs are gener- 

 ally planted in a suitable pot, in good soil (as rec- 

 ommended 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 flower all through the winter. The blue and 

 rose Roman Hyacinths flower from one to two weeks 

 later than the white variety.
