BARR’S ‘EXTRA EARLY’ ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
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 a 
fortnight or three weeks earlier. 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. ( For Cultural 
Directions see page 1.) per doz. —s. d.
