Extensively used by florists for forcing for 

 cut-flowers. For this i)urpose 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 

 i-ecommended 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 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 

 Roman Hyacinths flower from one to two 

 weeks later than the white variety.

These are also known as "Pan Hyacinths." 

 They are very suitable for growing in groups 

 in pots or earthen pans. Also good for grow- 

 ing in Bulb Fibre. 



In the entire group of Hyacinths there is hardly anything more fascinating than a well grown 

 pan of miniatures; the spikes are slender yet well provided with flower bells; the symmetry of the 

 individual plant is remarkable. * 



The following varieties are good for forcing:

Albertine, early pure white 



Czar Peter, pale porcelain, tinged lilac.

King of the Blues, fine deep blue
