ROMAN HYACINTHS AND NARCISSI for Early Forcing. 
Culture. — Pot the bulbs 3 to 6, or more according to size, in a 4 or 3 inch pot, during August, September, 
and October; then place the pots out-of-doors on a bed of ashes, and with cocoa-nut fibre 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 for succession, to a moderately warm and moist temperature, and 
plentifully supplied with water.
