Mixed Dutch Hyacinths in Separate Colors, Extra Quality 



LARGEST BULBS. SUITABLE EITHER FOR FORCING OR BEDDING 



Our Mixed Hyacinths should not be confounded with the small-sized, low-priced mixtures often 

 sold. Our bulbs are all of the largest size. Being furnished in so many separate colors, splendid bedding effects may 

 be produced with them. They are also admirably adapted for forcing in the greenhouse for winter cut-flowers.

 dantly. They are hardier than the Romans, and may be planted outside in the fall for flowers for early spring 

 cutting. Each Doz.

French Roman Hyacinths 



Extensively used by florists for forcing cut- 

 flowers. For this purpose they are the best and 

 most popular of bulbs. The flowers are 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 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 devel- 

 oped 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 Roman 

 Hyacinths flower from one to two weeks later 

 than the white variety.
