GROWN IN BOWL OF PEBBLES AND WATER. 
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 Fibre, shell, and 
charcoal mixture, they afford a charming decoration for 
the greenhouse or sitting-room. t^For Cultural Directions,
