Barr’s “ Extra Early ” 
WHITE ROMAN HYACINTH. 
These Extra Early White Roman Hyacinths have been 
grown specially for us in a warm climate, and have thereby 
gained a superiority over the French-grown Roman Hyacinths 
in flowering three weeks or more earlier, and generally more 
freely. The elegant little sweet-scented flower-spikes may 
be had in bloom during October, November, and December, 
if the bulbs are potted up early and forced in succession. 
They are greatly prized for bouquets, while the individual 
flowers are of great value for buttonholes. Grown in bowls 
of pebbles and water or our prepared cocoa-fibre and 
charcoal mixture, they afford a charming decoration for 
the greenhouse or sitting-room. {For Cultural Directions , 
see page 2.) The supply of these Extra Early White 
Roman Hyacinths is limited. s . <i

ITALIAN EARLY HYACINTHS. 
These bloom just after the White Roman Hyacinth, and 
are therefore valuable for succession. They are all of graceful 
beauty, and may be had in bloom in December and J anuary. 
These Italian Hyacinths can easily be grown in owls of 
pebbles and water or our prepared cocoa-fibre and 
charcoal mixture, and make a very pretty decoration for 
the greenhouse and sitting-room. per doz.

N.B.— The above are the best of the Italian Early Hyacinths ; the Blue Roman Hyacinth 
is now no longer cultivated, and the Blue Italian Hyacinth is a coarse flower of little 
beauty which we cannot recommend to our customers, and we therefore do not offer it.

IRISES. 
These may be called the “ Orchids ” of the flower garden, their blossoms competing in richness 
and variety of colour with the choicest and the most beautiful Orchids. They should be extensively planted 
in flower and shrubbery borders, and naturalised ; a judicious selection will give a display of bloom from 
Christmas to August. See our Hardy Plant Catalogue for all kinds of Flag Irises.
