W. E. MARSHALL & CO., NEW YORK 



ROMAN HYACINTHS 



The flowers are delightfully fragrant, and each bulb will throw up from three Lo 

 four spikes. For forcing, tliree or four bulbs are generally planted in a pot. 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. Jiach Doz. loo
