FRENCH ROMAN HYACINTHS 



Extensively used by florists for forcing for cut-fiowers. 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 forcing, three or four bulbs are generally planted in a suitable spot, in good soil (as recommended for other 

 varieties). The pots must be keep 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.

 early spring cutting. Each Doz. 100

TULIPS 



TULIPS ARE READY FOR DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER 



For beauty of form and brilliancy of coloring Tulips are unequaled. For bedding they are the most popular 

 and effective of all hardy bulbous plants. In our descriptions we give the color and average height to which they 

 grow, so that purchasers may select suitable sorts for forming display beds in design. The most gorgeous effects 

 can be produced by harmonious massing of contrasting colors. For pot culture and forcing for winter cut-flowers, 

 they are also invaluable. 



CULTURE. — The cultural directions given for hyacinths, on page 2, are equally applicable to Tulips, except 

 that the bulbs, being smaller, must not be planted quite so deep. Four inches to the bottom of the bulb is deep 



Mr. C. W. Blose of Pennsylvania, writes under date of September 8, 1908: "The Hyacinths I got from you last fall were 

 in very nice bloom this spring, so I had to send for some more. "
