Bulbs for Early Forcing 
Early White Roman Hyacinths. 
Specially recommended for early flowering. 
These charming little French-grown bulbs should be largely grown 
for early forcing, as, if potted in August and September, they may be 
had in bloom during November and December when flowers are scarce. 
Several bulbs in a pot make a charming display, and they also do well 
in fibre without drainage. As soon as potted give one good watering 
and place under cover till they are well rooted when they may be 
transferred to greenhouse, frame or window.

Freesia Refnacta alba. 
Freesias are deservedly increasing in popularity year by year, 
and this is not surprising considering the ease with which they can be 
grown, and the length of time they remain in bloom. To make a good 
display about 9 to 12 bulbs should be potted in a six inch pot not later 
than the end of August. Use good, moist, turfy loam mixed with 
sand and leaf mould, covering the bulbs about 1 inch deep. After 
potting plunge in a cold frame but do not cover the pots, nor give any 
water until growth commences. The great point is to grow the bulbs 
as cool as possible in order to produce sturdy growth. When the flower 
spikes show they may be moved into a cool greenhouse, staked and 
placed near the glass.
