Early- Flowering French Roman Hyacinths 
A charming class of Hyacinths from the south of France (quite distinct from the Dutch Hyacinths), pro- 
ducing graceful, delicately perfumed spikes of tiowers. They force readily in the house. Three bulbs can be 
put in a 4 inch, or six bulbs in a (i-inch pot, and as each bulb produces several spikes it makes a beautiful plant 
for conservatory or house decoration. Their treatment is identical with that of the Dutch Hyacinths (see page 3), 
except that we do not recommend them for outdoor planting. 
Early White. Pure white; one of the most valuable 
plants for cut-flowers. Millions of these are annually 
forced in the I'nited States. It potted at intervals 
from September to October, can be bad in flower from 
November till March. Selected bulbs, 5 cts. each, 
no cts. per doz., $.3.50 per 100, $30 per 1,000. Extra 
selected bulbs, (i cts. each, (iO cts. per doz., $4 per 100, 
$35 per 1,000.
