French Roman Hyacinths 



Mailing Weight, 2 lbs. per doz. ; 9 lbs. per 100 



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 ligbt 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.
