barr’s early white roman hyacinths 
GROWN IN A BOWL. 
EARLY WHITE ROMAN 
HYACINTH. 
Extra Selected French-s(rown Bulbs. 
(Very scarce this season owing to short crop.) 
This charming little Hyacinth is of great value for early 
forcing, and may be had in bloom during November, Decem- 
ber, and January by successional plantings. Several bulbs 
in a pot make a charming Winter decoration for the green- 
house or sitting-room, while to cut for bouquets and vases 
the graceful spikes of sweet-scented blooms are highly prized. 
The Roman and Italian Hyacinths lend themselves readily 
to culture in bowls of pebbles and water or our fertilised 
fibre, shell and charcoal mixture. {For Cultural Direc- 
tions, see page 3. )
