Dutch varieties and are of the easiest culture. The white Romans will flower a little 
earlier than the blue varieties. It is much to be regretted that the Roman hyacinths 
are not hardy in this climate. 
We have only first size bulbs and sell them at the following prices: White 
Romans, oc each, 50c per dozen, $3.o0 per 100; blue Romans, 5c each, 50c per dozen, 
$3.50 per 100. If wanted by mail add 7c per dozen for postage. Price of single bulbs 
includes postage. 
Tulips 
Second only to the hyacinth comes the tulip for either forcing or outdoor plant- 
ing. They are shipped to this country by the millions and bring good cheer to thou- 
sands of homes with their brilliant colors. Planted in beds of good soil, five to six 
inches apart and nearly as deep, they are almost sure to do well, and money spent for 
tulip bulbs will never be regretted if they are given a reasonable amount of care. In 
forcing care must be taken not to force them too early. The fore part of January is 
early enough for most varieties to be started into growth, and the flowers will come 
better and surer than if started earlier in the season.
