bright colour and large /lower spike. They are also the best for filling rustic baskets, flower boxes, vases, etc.

ROMAN HYACINTHS AND NARCISSI for Early Forcing. 
Culture. — Pot the bulbs 3 to 6, or more according to size, in a 4 or 5 inch pot, during August, September, 
and October ; then place the pots out-of-doors on a bed of ashes, and with cocoa-nut fibre or ashes cover the 
pots a few inches. There let them remain till the bulbs are well rooted, and have made a little top growth ; 
the pots should then be removed, a few at a time, to a moderately warm and moist temperature, and plentifully 
supplied with water at the roots. A successional supply of these neat beautiful flowers can be maintained from 
October to January.
