Bulbs for Early Forcing. 
>-= ooo-j 
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 Refracta 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.
